- TORCUIL CRICHTON

MATT Hancock has “serious questions to answer” after revelations he and his sister own shares in a company benefiting from lucrative NHS contracts.

Labour’s Angela Rayner has called on the Health Secretary to explain how a firm owned by members of his family won a place on an NHS Shared Business Services framework to provide services to the English NHS.

Hancock has also been accused of appearing to breach the ministerial code by failing to declare the company in which he holds more than 15 per cent is owned by members of his family.

Labour Deputy Leader Angela Rayner said: “Tory sleaze and cronyism has engulfed this government”.
