Government Settles with Sacked Foreign Office Chief Over Mandelson Vetting

• Olly Robbins, the former head of the Foreign Office, was dismissed by Keir Starmer in April.
• Robbins applied for a judicial review after his dismissal over his role in vetting Peter Mandelson.
• The government chose to settle out of court, resulting in a six-figure payout for Robbins.
• The FDA union announced the settlement on Friday.
• The payout is related to Robbins' dismissal and the subsequent legal challenge.
