BREAKING: the UK government does "not intend to publish the list of suppliers who were awarded personal protective equipment contracts" following the high-priority lane VIP process "as there may be associated commercial implications”.
Lib Dem peer Lord Strasburger @LordStras asked the question in the House of Lords on whether the government would publish a list of all companies contracted to supply PPE via the high-priority lane used to assess and process potential procurement leads.
Lord Bethell, of the Department of Health & Social Care, said: "We do not intend to publish the list of suppliers who were awarded personal protective equipment contracts after having had their offers reviewed with more urgency as there may be associated commercial implications.”
