Starmer calls lack of disclosure over Mandelson vetting ‘frankly staggering’

Highlights

  • Starmer accepts he unknowingly misled MPs over Mandelson's failed security checks.
  • Foreign Office overruled vetting recommendation and kept Starmer in the dark.
  • Top civil servant Sir Olly Robbins sacked and set to face MPs on Tuesday.
Keir Starmer has said it is “frankly staggering” that ministers were not informed about the failed security vetting of Peter Mandelson, insisting he does not accept that senior figures could have been kept in the dark at multiple stages of the process.
He said he should have been told before Mandelson took up the Washington post, that the cabinet secretary should have been informed during a 2025 review, and that the foreign secretary should have known when addressing a select committee.
Downing Street has insisted the prime minister would never knowingly mislead parliament and that he was himself misled by the Foreign Office.
His official spokesperson said the information about Mandelson's failed vetting should have been provided to parliament, to Starmer and to other government ministers, but was not.

Starmer had told the Commons on three separate occasions that "full due process" was followed when Mandelson was appointed US ambassador.

That position has now unravelled following revelations that United Kingdom Security Vetting recommended against Mandelson's security clearance before he took up the Washington post.
