Matt Hancock discussed withholding funding for a learning disability centre if a Bury MP 'rebelled' against coronavirus restrictions, newly leaked messages have suggested.
The former health secretary and an aide previously spoke about warning the Bury North MP James Daly that a new centre for disabled children and adults would be 'off the table' if he voted against the Government, according to the Telegraph’s 'The Lockdown Files' investigation.
Senior Conservative Jake Berry described the disclosure as an 'absolute disgrace' and called for Mr Hancock to be hauled before the Commons for questioning.
