The Metropolitan Police wrongly named Lord Forsyth before apologizing to both parliamentary Speakers after arresting Lord Mandelson on suspicion of public office misconduct.
- On Thursday, the Metropolitan Police apologised to a second parliamentary Speaker after wrongly naming Michael Forsyth, Lord Speaker of the House of Lords, as the source that led to Lord Peter Mandelson's arrest.
- It emerged on Tuesday that police acted after being told Lord Peter Mandelson was a flight risk, and Sir Lindsay Hoyle passed the information while on holiday.
- He was taken from his Camden home about 4.15pm on Monday, questioned for eight hours, and released on bail just after 1am; his lawyers called the flight-risk claim baseless and requested the Met's evidence.
