00:00Let me start where I must start, which is to accept, as I do, that I made a mistake in
00:07appointing Peter Mandelson.
00:09And let me follow that up swiftly, as I've done before, but I need to do it again,
00:13with an apology to the victims of Epstein for appointing Peter Mandelson.
00:19It was my mistake and I take responsibility in relation to it.
00:25The release of the information shows what was known. That led to further questions being asked.
00:30Unfortunately, because of the Metropolitan Police investigation, we can't release that information yet.
00:36But that doesn't take away from the fact that it was me that made a mistake
00:39and it's me that makes the apology to the victims of Epstein, and I do that.
