Mandelson should give severance pay to charity, says Jones
Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones tells the BBC that the government hopes all of the files requested into Mandelson will be released in one more final batch.
He says the rest still have to go through checks with the Metropolitan Police and the Intelligence and Security Committee, but they are working as "quickly as we can".
When asked if he exaggerated the figure Mandelson demanded for a severance payout, Jones says "the documents speak for themselves".
One email in the files shows that Mandelson opened negotiations after he was sacked as ambassador to the US by asking theForeign Office for a payout of £547,201.
The BBC understandsthat Mandelson takes issue with this claim.
Jones continues: "The government didn't want to have to give £1 to Peter Mandelson in the circumstances" but because of legal advice they chose to "reluctantly" give him a smaller figure of £75,000.
The BBC understands that Mandelson's view is he answered questions about his relationship with Epstein in the vetting process accurately. He has repeatedly let it be known that he believes he has not acted criminally, did not act for personal gain and is cooperating with the police.
