Peter Mandelson security vetting scandal biggest crisis for diplomatic service in decades, says ex-Foreign Office chief

Former Foreign Office chief Simon McDonald has described the Peter Mandelson security vetting scandal as the biggest crisis for the diplomatic service since 1982. Oliver Robbins was sacked as permanent secretary after it emerged he knew about Mandelson's failed security vetting for the US ambassador posting but did not inform ministers. McDonald accused No 10 of requiring "a scalp" and acting without fairness or due process. The UKSV reportedly concluded "high" overall concern and "clearance denied" for Mandelson, but this was overruled by the Foreign Office.
