Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will investigate whether Peter Mandelson (a) shared privileged information with Palantir and (b) used his role in Government for personal gain.

I refer you to the Government's response to the Urgent Question tabled on 12 February, and the Written Ministerial Statement in the name of the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister that same day, which set out an update on the Government's process. We will set out further details in due course. The Government wishes to ensure that Parliament’s instruction is met with the urgency and transparency that it deserves.
