Proceeding contribution from Rachael Maskell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 June 2026. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lord Mandelson Humble Address: Government Response.

Lord Mandelson Humble Address: Government Response

It seems that Mr Mandelson’s business interests permeated every aspect of government. This afternoon, we are to debate the Health Bill and the federated data platform. Palantir, a client of Peter Mandelson’s, will clearly have a specific interest hardwired into the Bill, and we are expected to vote on it without seeing the full documentation, or having time to digest it. What exactly was the relationship between Mr Mandelson and Mr Thiel, and was that disclosed in the interview process?
