00:04Anything that the number 10 team who appointed Mandelson
00:07don't want to put in the political domain
00:09has to be handed over to Parliament, to the ISE committee,
00:13so that we can see everything about this terrible, terrible decision.

00:19of Mandelson's relationship with Epstein
00:21and that he knew it continued after his imprisonment
00:24for child prostitution.
00:26A terrible error of judgement, but we want to see how deep that goes.
