Lord Mandelson
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the terms of reference are for the review into security concerns from Lord Mandelson having access to STRAP material; who will be undertaking that review; and whether it is the same review to the one being undertaken by Sir Adrian Fulford.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
The Government Security Group (GSG) will conduct a review into Peter Mandelson’s conduct while in the role of HMA Washington. The review will seek to establish whether Mandelson’s actions constituted a national security risk during his tenure.
GSG’s review will be conducted separately to that of the review being conducted by Sir Adrian Fulford; which will focus on learning from the Peter Mandelson National Security Vetting case and vetting decision making.
