Government is accused of scapegoating

TORY peer Michelle Mone has accused the Government of making her and her husband a “poster couple for the PPE scandal”.

- 

PPE Medpro, a consortium led by Baroness Mone's husband, the businessman Doug Barrowman, is being sued by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) over allegations it had breached a contract for 25 million surgical gowns during the coronavirus pandemic.

Lawyers for the Government had told a trial earlier this year that it was entitled to recover the £121 million cost of the contract, which the company opposes.
