Key questions facing government over Mandelson vetting - BBC
Overview
It has emerged that Lord Mandelson did not pass initial security vetting ahead of the ambassadorial role, while Downing Street previously said officials were unaware of the failure. The wider dossier of files includes vetting records and related communications, and newly published messages from Mandelson reveal private criticism of No 10’s policy-making. Those disclosures heighten questions about who knew what and when and increase pressure for full transparency and accountability over appointments.
