Lord Mandelson has had a cup of green custard thrown in his face by an environmental protester.
Campaign group Plane Stupid said 29-year-old activist Leila Deen carried out the stunt as the Business Secretary arrived at the launch of the Government's low carbon economy summit.
Scotland Yard said it has launched an inquiry into the "slime" attack.
Asked about the incident, Lord Mandelson said: "She was so busy throwing what seemed like green soup or something in my face that she failed to tell me what the protest was about, but as you can see thankfully is wasn't paint and I've come through it intact."
Ms Deen, who calmly walked away after the incident, said: "The only thing green about Peter Mandelson is the slime coursing through his veins.
"That Mandelson is trying to make political capital out of climate change just days after reports that he met with BAA's top lobbyists to push through the third runway is an insult to my generation,"
