Cabinet ministers are refusing to hand over papers relating to £200m of pandemic contracts to a firm linked to Conservative peer Michelle Mone.

Angela Rayner, Labour’s deputy leader, said: “The Government’s failure to come clean about the millions of taxpayers’ money awarded to Tory-linked Medpro reeks of a cover-up.
