Michelle Mone: Lib Dems demand cabinet office inquiry into who knew what

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

The Liberal Democrats have called for a Cabinet Office inquiry into the Michelle Mone scandal, following her claims that people in government knew of her involement in the PPE Medpro contract from the beginning.

Liberal Democrat Cabinet Office spokesperson, Christine Jardine MP said:

“The endless stream of allegations and disclosures surrounding this Conservative Government is painful. The more this scandal unfolds the more serious the questions for Michael Gove and other Ministers to answer.

“If they knew about Michelle Mone’s connections to the PPE contracts from the beginning, why didn’t they come clean years ago?

“We need an urgent, independent inquiry into what happened at the Cabinet Office over these contracts. What did Ministers know when, and what exactly did they say to Michelle Mone or anyone else involved?”
