Debate

Ambassadors: Vetting Process

Contribution

I thank the Minister for that Answer. The other part of the process is the due diligence process that the Cabinet Office undertook for the ambassador to the US. How many other appointments have the Government made following the same or a substantially similar process as was used for the ambassador to the US? Do the Government have confidence that the outcome of the process was correct in all those other cases, given the problems we are now aware of with how the process worked in the case of the ambassador?
