Answer

I refer the Hon Member to the response on 10 June to Question 5980. In addition, the Hon Member references the Part of a Return to an Address of the Honourable the House of Commons dated 4 February 2026 relating to the appointment of Lord Mandelson as HM Ambassador to Washington, Volume II Part I, HC2-I, published on 1 June 2026, Page 334, which notes that Peter Mandelson attended the Hill and Valley Forum on 2 May 2025 and that Louis Mosley was also scheduled to attend that large event.
