Here's a list of companies that the government has wasted taxpayers money on relating to #Covid.
1 - Randox - Unsafe test kits £133M
March 2019 it was reported that former cabinet minister Owen Paterson, who was a consultant to Randox , had helped to lobby the govt to seek contracts for them. This violates rules stating that an MP may not lobby on behalf of a paying client.
2 - Ayanda Capital - £250M for faulty face masks. Govt did not follow proper procurement/tendering procedures amongst other things

Just had this email from @JolyonMaugham

"The Government awarded a PPE contract worth £252 million to Ayanda Capital Limited, a ‘family office’ owned through a tax haven in Mauritius, with connections to @trussliz . It is the largest PPE contract we have seen to date.
In response to judicial review proceedings issued by Good Law Project, the Government has admitted that the 50 million FFP2 masks they purchased from Ayanda Capital – for a price that we calculate to be between £156m and £177m – “will not be used in the NHS” because
“there was concern as to whether the[y]… provided an adequate fixing.”

So, unless Government finds another use for, or seeks to sell, those unsuitable masks, that money has been wasted. And as for the remaining 150 million Type IIR masks purchased from Ayanda Capital?
