Committee chair says it would be ‘entirely appropriate’ for MPs to scrutinise firm linked to Tory peer while NCA inquiry continues
The chair of the public accounts committee has warned ministers not to delay handing over government documents related to how a company linked to the Conservative peer Michelle Mone was awarded PPE contracts worth more than £200m.
Despite a Commons’ vote on 6 December forcing the government to release to the committee papers related to the company, PPE Medpro, a health minister has responded by suggesting the government may not do so until an investigation by the National Crime Agency has concluded.
