A firm linked to Michelle Mone must repay £122million for allegedly breaching a Covid PPE contract, a court heard yesterday.
The bra tycoon had recommended PPE Medpro, which went on to provide 25 million ‘faulty’ surgical gowns.
The consortium, led by the Tory peer’s husband Doug Barrowman, was awarded contracts by the former Conservative administration during the pandemic.
PPE Medpro is now being sued by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), with Government lawyers claiming the gowns couldn’t be used because they were not sterile. Baroness Mone and the firm both deny any wrongdoing.
The Government is seeking to recover the costs of the contract, plus an additional £8,648,691 for transporting and storing the items.
