A bid from Baroness Michelle Mone and her husband to access documents and other evidence about personal protective equipment (PPE) deals in the pandemic has been rejected by the UK Covid-19 Inquiry.
The inquiry’s chairwoman, Baroness Heather Hallett, rejected an application from Lady Mone and Doug Barrowman to become so-called core participants as past the deadline and said she would have rejected it anyway as she did not accept they had a “direct or significant” role in the matters the inquiry is investigating.
