Cabinet Secretary and Civil Service head Sir Chris Wormald and Foreign Office permanent undersecretary Oliver Robbins appear before the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee over the vetting and appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US.
In this evidence session, Members will seek to understand the processes behind the clearance and vetting of Lord Mandelson and where these processes fell down.
Questions are likely to cover whether due diligence should have uncovered the association between Lord Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein.
The session is likely to explore the question of whether the Foreign Affairs Committee should routinely undertake pre-appointment hearings for political ambassadorial appointments.
