Former Foreign Office chief Olly Robbins has publicly stated that he encountered a ‘dismissive’ attitude from the Prime Minister’s office regarding the vetting process for Peter Mandelson. Robbins, who previously held a senior position within the Foreign Office, described this approach in detail, outlining his observations on the internal procedures concerning Mandelson. His account suggests a perceived lack of thoroughness or serious engagement from the highest echelons of government when conducting background checks or assessments for high-profile individuals. The former official’s comments highlight a point of contention regarding the diligence applied in such critical governmental evaluations.
