The British prime minister will not face a Privileges Committee inquiry over claims he misled Parliament regarding the vetting of Peter Mandelson for a government role. A Conservative-led motion sought to have his remarks assessed by the committee, which investigates whether MPs have breached the parliamentary code of conduct through dishonesty or obstruction. The motion did not proceed. The dispute centered on what the prime minister told lawmakers about the vetting process for Mandelson's appointment, with critics arguing his account was inaccurate or incomplete. The prime minister's office maintained his statements were accurate. The decision to forgo an inquiry removes a potential political headache for the government, though it leaves unresolved the substantive question of whether his account to Parliament was truthful. Conservative MPs had pushed the inquiry as a way to formally examine the discrepancy between his version of events and other accounts.
