The prime minister has denied that his government intercepted a deal for 5,000 Covid tests in Wales.
It comes after a Welsh health boss claimed the UK government had clearly prioritised Covid tests for England in March 2020.
Plaid Cymru Arfon MP Hywel Williams accused Boris Johnson of disregarding Welsh lives over the claims, originally reported by Channel 4 News.
But the prime minister said he was completely wrong .
The claims had emerged in emails obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
Speaking at Prime Minister s Questions, Mr Williams said: In March last year this United Kingdom Conservative government intercepted a deal between Wales and the Roche pharmaceutical company for 5,000 daily Covid tests, instructing the company to reserve all additional Covid tests for England.
