Former chief medical officer Professor Dame Sally Davies described a “car crash” meeting with Michael Gove as he appeared to try to change policy around decontamination days after former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter were poisoned with Novichok, an inquiry has heard.
An email chain shown to the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry on Monday was started when Dame Sally contacted then-cabinet secretary Sir Jeremy Heywood on March 15 2018, days after the Skripals were poisoned in Salisbury.
