MPs have approved the release of documents relating to Lord Peter Mandelson’s appointment as British ambassador to the United States.
It follows a humiliating climbdown from Sir Keir Starmer, who tabled an amendment about which documents relating to Lord Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador could be released, which received backlash from his own backbenches, including his former deputy Angela Rayner, who agreed with the Tory argument that all papers should go to the Intelligence and Security Committee.
