Lord Mandelson is to quit from the House of Lords, it has been announced by the Lord Speaker.

He will keep his title as a peerage is bestowed for life, unless the Government changes the law.

The Labour peer is stepping back from the upper chamber from Wednesday after files released by the US Department of Justice allegedly showed him passing material to Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a cabinet minister in Gordon Brown’s Labour administration.

He has insisted Epstein’s money did not influence his actions in government as Scotland Yard reviews reports of alleged misconduct in a public office.

It is “right” that Lord Mandelson is quitting the House of Lords, a Downing Street spokesman said.
