00:00But Mr Speaker, before I go into the details, I want to be very clear with this House
00:05that while this statement will focus on the process surrounding Peter Mandelson vetting an appointment,
00:13at the heart of this, there is also a judgment I made that was wrong.
00:18I should not have appointed Peter Mandelson.
00:21I take responsibility for that decision, and I apologise again to the victims of the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein,
00:28who were clearly failed by my decision.
