YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

At least two senior civil servants knew weeks ago that Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting for his US ambassador role, Sky News understands.

But they did not pass over the information to the prime minister because they were waiting for legal checks on what information could be released, according to a Cabinet Office spokesperson.
