Calls are growing for Peter Mandelson to return the severance pay he received after being sacked as Britain’s ambassador to the US over his links to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
It follows the Prime Minister admitting "his mistake" over the appointment.
The files, released on Thursday, showed Mandelson was paid a package of nearly £75,000, made up of £40,330 as pay in lieu of notice, and a special severance payment of £34,670 after he was sacked.
The files also revealed Mandelson had initially asked to be paid out for the remainder of his four-year tenure as ambassador, a sum which would have totalled more than half a million pounds.
