UK health department taking on firm linked with Manx resident
A firm linked with an Isle of Man resident is to be sued by the UK Government over £122m worth of personal protective equipment, according to the BBC.
PPE Medpro won contracts through the so-called VIP lane in 2020 after being recommended by Conservative peer Baroness Michelle Mone.
A spokesperson for the UK's Department of Health and Social Care says it's commenced legal proceedings in the High Court against the company for breach of contract.
It relates to gowns delivered under a contract dated 26 June 2020.
It's reported PPE Medpro would "rigorously" defend the claim.
