A company linked to Tory peer Michelle Mone has been ordered to pay the government almost £122m for breaching a contract to supply millions of surgical gowns during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) sued PPE Medpro at the High Court, claiming the company had breached the deal because the 25 million gowns it provided were “faulty” by not being sterile.
