Cat Little to give evidence to the FAC Committee on Lord Mandelson's vetting
The Foreign Affairs Committee will hold an evidence session with Cat Little, Cabinet Office Permanent Secretary and the chief operating officer of the United Kingdom's Civil Service at 9.30am on Thursday 23 April. The session will take place in the Grimond Room in Portcullis House.
The session follows recent reports that United Kingdom Security Vetting recommended against granting Lord Mandelson Developed Vetting, but, despite this, Lord Mandelson was appointed as British Ambassador to Washington. It also follows evidence from Sir Oliver Robbins, former Permanent Under-Secretary at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development office, who was withdrawn as Permanent Under-Secretary following these reports.
