Lindsay Hoyle admits playing key role in Lord Mandelson's arrest

Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle has admitted playing a key role in the arrest of the disgraced Lord Mandelson, who had ties to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Sir Lindsay admitted to passing information “in good faith” to the Metropolitan Police, following reports someone had informed the force that Lord Peter Mandelson could be a flight risk.

The UK's former ambassador to the US was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Monday, and later released on bail.
