Jeffrey Epstein and Lord Mandelson
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the US Government has allowed the (a) UK Government and (b) Metropolitan Police to have access to the unredacted Mandelson-Epstein files.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
Decisions on access to documents held by the United States are a matter for the relevant authorities in that country. The Metropolitan Police operates independently of Government and any engagement between UK law enforcement and international counterparts would take place through the appropriate law enforcement channels.
