Proceeding contribution from Caroline Johnson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 February 2026. It occurred during Opposition day on Lord Mandelson.
Lord Mandelson
The transparency point is really important. Peter Mandelson was a Labour politician and this is a Labour Government. It may be that Peter Mandelson was an isolated bad apple, and that no one knew anything about what he was doing until this document release last week, but the public will wonder, and they will question. If a Labour Government cover up things by being anything less than fully transparent, the public will wonder who they are covering up for, and why.
