DOMINIC CUMMINGS played a central role in the awarding of a contract without tender to a company run by his mates, court documents reveal.
But in his witness statement submitted to the High Court today as part of a judicial review of the award, the former aide to Prime Minister Boris Johnson denied that he had asked for the Public First agency to receive a contract because bosses there were his pals, claiming he would “never do such a thing.”
The Good Law Project brought the legal challenge, alleging that the deal had been awarded “on a handshake” and formalised later by a retrospective contract in July.
