00:00But Mr Speaker, before I go into the details, I want to be very clear with this House that
00:06while this statement will focus on the process surrounding Peter Mandelson's vetting and
00:12appointment, at the heart of this there is also a judgment I made that was wrong. I should
00:19not have appointed Peter Mandelson. I take responsibility for that decision and I apologise
00:25again to the victims of the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein who were clearly failed by my decision.
