The Foreign Affairs Committee holds an evidence session with former Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Sir Oliver Robbins.

The session follows recent reports that United Kingdom Security Vetting recommended against granting Lord Mandelson Developed Vetting, but, despite this, Lord Mandelson was appointed as British Ambassador to Washington.

Sir Oliver was withdrawn as Permanent Under-Secretary at the FCDO following these reports.
