"Starmer's spokesperson stated, 'This information should have been provided to parliament. It should have been provided to him [Starmer], it should have been provided to other government ministers.'"
"The spokesperson emphasized, 'he clearly did not have this information when he previously spoke to parliament,' highlighting the lack of communication regarding Mandelson's vetting."
Keir Starmer is set to address the Commons regarding misleading information he provided about Peter Mandelson's vetting. His spokesperson stated that Starmer was misled and did not knowingly mislead parliament or the public. The issue arose after revelations that Mandelson did not secure vetting before becoming the US ambassador. Starmer previously claimed that full due process was followed, prompting opposition leaders to demand a correction. The spokesperson emphasized that the necessary information was not provided to Starmer or other ministers at the time.
