00:00The Prime Minister has taken responsibility for Peter Mandelson's appointment as Ambassador
00:06to the United States.
00:08He has acknowledged it was a mistake and has apologised, not least for believing Peter
00:14Mandelson's lies.
00:17As the Government has said previously, there are specific documents that this Government
00:22would like to have been able to disclose today, but which the Metropolitan Police have asked
00:28us not to do so yet in order to avoid prejudicing their ongoing criminal investigation into
00:34Peter Mandelson.
00:36We have agreed to that request.
00:38We will therefore publish these documents in the future as soon as the Metropolitan Police
00:43have confirmed it will no longer prejudice their investigation.
