Summary
- A company linked to Baroness Michelle Mone breached a £122m government contract by supplying unsterile personal protective equipment during the Covid pandemic, a judge rules
- The High Court says the firm must repay the government £122m in damages, with interest, by 15 October
- PPE Medpro - a consortium led by Mone's husband, Doug Barrowman - was paid £122m for supplying medical gowns in 2020
- The Department of Health rejected the gowns in December 2020 and told the company to repay the money - this did not happen
- The gowns remain in storage - in 2022, it was reported that storage cost £61,000 a week
- Mone - who recommended the company to the government through the "VIP lane" - initially denied being linked to PPE Medpro
- In 2023, she admitted to the BBC she lied about not being involved, and said her and her children could eventually benefit from the profits of around £60m
- "I should have said I am involved, straight away, but I didn't want the press intrusion for my family," she said
