Why have we sidestepped procurement rules to spend £426m buying about 27 million coveralls when in the whole pandemic so far we have used only 417,000 of them?
(And some other multi-choice questions for PhDs about the Government’s weird, weird procurement?)

Of that £426m (that we know about) spent on coveralls that we don't appear to need, £239m has gone to Unispace an entity linked to the Plymouth Brethren that has received a staggering £456m of PPE contracts (that we know about).
£104m on gloves (ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NO…). 
£240m on coveralls (contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/92a59e2…).
£114m on masks (contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/13751ae…).
Unispace is not - as you might expect - a massive global PPE supplier. It specialises in making "inspiring workplaces". unispace.com/about/our-story
