Keir Starmer's ethics advisor REJECTS inquiry into Peter Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador
The Prime Minister's ethics advisor has turned down a request from the Conservatives for an inquiry into the botched appointment of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.
Shadow Cabinet Office minister Alex Burghart had called for an inquiry into the appointment.
However, the Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards Sir Laurie Magnus has rejected the request from the senior Tory.
He wrote: "It is not within my remit to investigate the actions or decisions taken by particular departments, or by the Government more broadly".
