رونوشت کامل Commons Speaker passed 'relevant information' about Mandelson to police

Press Association understands 34 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.680 the Sky News is reporting that it was the Common Speaker, 35 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.560 so to Lindsay Hoyle, who is reportedly being quoted to 36 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.199 say that he passed on information in what's been described 37 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:18.400 as good faith to the Metropolitan Police. We'll bring you 38 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.439 more details on that story as it happens. We've got 39 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:25.719 PMQ's Prime Minister's Questions coming up in around fifteen or 40 00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:29.800 so minutes time at the Prime Minister to Kirs Stahmer 41 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.680 taking to his feet in the Commons to bring you 42 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.719 more on that. But let me just bring you a 43 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.919 few more elements of this. Like I say, this is 44 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.240 the Press Association Sky News understanding from the Press Association 45 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.919 that Lindsay Hoyle confirmed he passed quote relevant information to 46 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:54.479 the police about Mandelssohn. This is some statements in the Commons, 47 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.039 I believe. Let me just take a look what's being said. 48 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.280 This is quoting Lindzay around ten minutes or so ago, 49 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:05.199 saying that members will be aware of comments in the 50 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.639 media regarding the arrest of Lord Mandilsson. To prevent any 51 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.919 inaccurate speculation. I'd like to confirm that upon receipt of 52 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.240 information that I felt it was relevant, I passed this 53 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.199 on to the Metropolitan Police in good faith, as is 54 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.240 my duty and responsibility. Is regrettable this rapidly ended in 55 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:25.080 the media as it was a live investigation. Members will 56 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.759 understand that it would be it would not be appropriate, 57 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.960 he says, to make any further comment, and I'd like 58 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.879 to caution members from doing so. So those comments. There 59 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:37.560 is a transcript of Lindsay Hoyle speaking in the Commons 60 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.919 a little earlier at around eleven thirty four, And let 61 00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.319 me just read that to you again. Like I say, 62 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.639 this is a transcript, so it's not a direct statement, 63 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.360 but he said in the Commons regarding the arrest of 64 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.360 Lord Mandilsson. To prevent any inaccurate speculation, I'd like to 65 00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:57.000 confirm that upon receipt of information that I felt was relevant, 66 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.199 I passed this on to the Metropolitan Police in good faith, 67 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:05.120 as is my duty and responsibility. It's regrettable this rapidly 68 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.280 ended in the media as it is a live investigation. 69 00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.479 Members understand it's not appropriate to make any further comment, 70 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.199 and I'd like to caution members from doing so. So 71 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.279 how's the common speaker Lindsey Hool confirming he was passed 72 00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:22.480 quote relevant information to the police about Peter Mandlsson. That 73 00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.040 was regarding reports that Peter Manderson had been considered that 74 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:31.680 a possible flight risk. Sky News cannot confirm that this 75 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:36.399 relevant information is in relation to the flight risk information, 76 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.720 but that Lindsay Hoil was saying that he had passed 77 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.000 on relevant information quite exactly what he's referring to there 78 00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:47.040 in terms that conversation terms that information being passed on 79 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.000 the Metropolitan Police. I can't explicitly tell you at this moment, 80 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:54.439 but we do know there was a wider reporting about 81 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:59.480 the possibility of Peter Manderson, some quarters reporting considered a 82 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.120 flight rip. His lawyers denying that, saying that was based 83 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.600 on inaccurate information, and that he had actually voluntarily agreed 84 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.920 to a voluntary interview with officers from the Metropolitan Police 85 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:18.040 investigating those allegations of misconduct in public office, and that 86 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.279 the arrest came about because of what his lawyers are 87 00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.560 describing as kind of inaccurate reporting. So that's kind of 88 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.199 the background to why we're talking about this right now. 89 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.360 Like I say that, kind of the development here is 90 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.959 that at eleven thirty four, Lindsey Holl, the speaker who 91 00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.519 you can see in that image to the side of 92 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.560 the screen there and who you would normally see sat 93 00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.160 in the speaker's chair directly at the center of that 94 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.519 live shot of the Commons, was addressing the Commons and 95 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.279 saying that he passed on relevant information to the Metropolitan 96 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.720 Police in good faith and it is his duty and responsibility. Now, 97 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.480 I can't explicitly tell you what he's referring to with 98 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.600 regards to that relevant information. I can't confirm yet

that 99 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:59.399 it's information regarding a flight risk, but he did say 100 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.160 that he passed on and it wouldn't be appropriate to 101 00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.800 comment further as there is an ongoing investigation and there 102 00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:09.360 are many ongoing investigations. Ten police forces across the United 103 00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:14.480 Kingdom investigating various elements of the Epstein files and allegations 104 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.720 made about those as well. We know that Thames Valley 105 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.480 Police investigating and have arrested Andrew Mountbatten Windsor on suspicion 106 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.399 of misconduct in public office. We know that Thames Valley 107 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.560 Police carried out that arrest, and we know that Manchester 108 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:32.600 Metropolitan Police my apologies Metropolitan Police carrying out that arrest 109 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:37.639 of Peter Mandelson. In prior instances, both individuals have denied 110 00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.680 any wrongdoing and have denied the allegations against them. We 111 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.480 have not heard from Peter Manderson and we have not 112 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:49.000 heard from Andrew Mountbatten Windsor following their arrests and questioning 113 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:53.480 in custody, the two individuals spending around eleven and eight 114 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:57.800 hours respectively at being questioned by officers. So it's been 115 00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.839 quite a turbulent few days in the development of this 116 00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:07.399 scandal and situation that has gripped British politics, Britain more broadly, 117 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.399 and of course the world more widely. As a result 118 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.399 of the disclosure by the Department of Justice in the 119 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.480 United States of the Epstein files that trans most recently 120 00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:19.199 of three and a half million documents. It pointed to 121 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.759 some of the relationships, some of the interactions, some of 122 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:26.040 the alleged conversations between so many people, but notably at 123 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.480 the moment here in the UK, allegations that then arose 124 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:35.000 challenges put to Peter Manderson and also to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. 125 00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:37.800 Let me bring you some of the latest images and 126 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:39.560 latest comments from Lindsay Hoyle. 127 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:47.399 Order members will be aware of comments in the media 128 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:55.199 regarding the arrest of Lord Mandels. To prevent any inaccurate speculation, 129 00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.360 I'd like to confirm that, upon receipt of information that 130 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:04.040 I felt it was relevant, I passed this on to 131 00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.120 the Metropolitan Police in good faith, as is my duty 132 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:14.279 and responsibility. It is regrettable this rapidly ended in the media. 133 00:08:14.879 --> 00:08:19.279 As this is a live investigation. Members will understand that 134 00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.680 it would be would not be appropriate to make any 135 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.360 further comment, and I'd like to caution members from doing so,
