Rishi Sunak is facing claims of a "cover up" after leaked WhatsApps suggest concerns were raised in Government about whether his flagship 'Eat out to Help out' scheme was fuelling the spread of Covid.
Messages between Matt Hancock and top civil servant Simon Case in August 2020, published by the Telegraph, show the ex-Health Secretary saying the initiative was "causing problems" in some areas but he had "kept it out of the news".
Mr Case asked if he'd informed Mr Sunak, who was Chancellor at the time, the WhatsApps suggest.
