Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 April 2026

Debate

Peter Mandelson Appointment

Contribution

The right hon. Member asks for leave to propose a debate on a specific and important matter that should have urgent consideration—namely, the Government’s accountability to the House in connection with the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the United States of America. I have listened carefully to the application from the Leader of the Opposition. I am satisfied that the matter raised is proper to be discussed under Standing Order No. 24. Does the right hon. Member have the leave of the House? Application agreed to.
