Lord Mandelson: Response to Humble Address Motion

Lord Redwood Excerpts

Tuesday 17th March 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)]

My Lords, I wondered how my noble friend was going to get a warship into this question—and, as ever, he succeeded. My noble friend is right; from my perspective, Peter Mandelson should donate his severance to any charity that campaigns for, or protects, women who have been targeted and have experienced horrendous violence. That is probably the least we are owed.

[Lord Redwood (Con)]

My Lords, is it the Government’s case that Lord Mandelson misled them to get the appointment? Can the Minister give us a couple of examples of what he said to fool the Prime Minister?

[Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)]

The noble Lord will be able to read any and all correspondence for himself as further tranches are published.
