Written Answers
Lord Mandelson
Asked by: Baroness Coffey (Conservative - Life peer)
Monday 9th February 2026

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Prime Minister, as of 3 February, had asked the Forfeiture Committee whether the Rt Hon Lord Mandelson should be stripped of his membership of the Privy Council.

Answered by Baroness Smith of Basildon - Leader of the House of Lords and Lord Privy Seal

The Forfeiture Committee has no role in relation to Privy Council appointments. Appointments to, and removals from, the Privy Council are made by The King on the recommendation of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister announced on the 4th February that he had recommended to The King that Lord Mandelson be removed from the Privy Council.
