Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces questions in the parliament.
This comes just before the government releases its first tranche of documents relating to Lord Peter Mandelson’s appointment as ambassador to the United States.
Last month, MPs ordered the government to release tens of thousands of documents relating to Lord Mandelson’s appointment in 2024 after questions over how the peer was vetted, plus what was known about his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The Prime Minister has insisted Lord Mandelson "lied repeatedly" to No 10 about his relationship with Epstein, before and during his tenure as ambassador.
Lord Mandelson was arrested on February 23 on suspicion of misconduct in public office, having been accused of passing sensitive information on to Epstein during his time as business secretary.
He was subsequently bailed, but later released from his bail conditions, although he remains under investigation.
After his release on investigation, lawyers representing Mandelson said: "Peter Mandelson’s overriding priority is to cooperate with the police investigation, as he has done throughout this process, and to clear his name."
