Matt Hancock appeared on several different media outlets this morning to answer questions around his department s handling of the pandemic MATT Hancock has said that it was just a coincidence that around £2 billion worth of contracts were handed by his Health Department to firms linked with Tory party members or donors. The UK Government’s Health Secretary was speaking on the BBC’s Good Morning Scotland (GMS) when he was asked about the High Court ruling his department had acted unlawfully in failing to publish details of billions of pounds worth of coronavirus-related contracts within the required time. The Tory minister elsewhere claimed that the court case “did not need to happen” as it had not “had any material impact”.
