Reports that a Tory peer may have benefited from Covid personal protective equipment (PPE) contracts raise “far wider” questions about how the UK Government awarded such agreements.
This is according to Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner, who called it a “total failure of due diligence” that PPE Medpro won contracts for PPE, with “profits made possible through the company’s personal connections to ministers”.
She referred to reports in the Guardian newspaper, which suggest Conservative peer Baroness Mone may have profited from the contracts.
