Keir Starmer to face vote on Mandelson vetting scandal as key figures give evidence to MPs

Keir Starmer faces a vote on referring him to the privileges committee over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador, with evidence from former Foreign Office permanent secretary Philip Barton and ex-chief of staff Morgan McSweeney to the foreign affairs committee. While Labour is expected to easily win the vote, the committee testimony may impact how MPs view Starmer, particularly after the sacking of Olly Robbins over the vetting controversy.

Foreign Office security official says he felt pressure from Downing Street over Mandelson vetting

A senior Foreign Office security official has testified that he felt pressure from Downing Street to rapidly conclude Peter Mandelson's security vetting clearance, which was eventually granted despite UKSV recommending denial. Ian Collard said he gave an oral briefing to former permanent secretary Olly Robbins without having seen the UKSV assessment summary that flagged Mandelson as a 'high concern'. The testimony adds to controversy surrounding Prime Minister Keir Starmer's claim that 'no pressure existed whatsoever' in the case.

Civil Servant in Mandelson Vetting Row Won't Give Oral Evidence to MPs

Ian Collard, the civil servant who briefed Sir Olly Robbins about UK Security Vetting's recommendation not to clear Lord Mandelson for the US ambassador role, will not appear before the Foreign Affairs Committee for oral questioning. Committee chair Dame Emily Thornberry said the Foreign Office declined the request, with Collard only providing written evidence. The controversy centers on whether Sir Olly received accurate information before granting clearance against UKSV's recommendation, leading to his sacking last week. A review by Sir Adrian Fulford is examining the briefing process.
