What documents are missing from the new release of Mandelson files?
From vetting summary to declaration of interest, here are the five key papers withheld from latest disclosures
More than 1,500 pages of documents were published by the government on Monday afternoon about Peter Mandelson’s appointment as the ambassador in Washington. Despite claims this was “an unprecedented piece of government transparency”, there are still a number of significant missing documents.
Some of the documents have been withheld by the government at the request of the Metropolitan police, if they could “potentially prejudice” an ongoing investigation. According to Darren Jones, chief secretary to the prime minister, these documents will be published as part of a third tranche at the conclusion of an investigation or when no longer prejudicial.
