COVID-era contract scandal: Former Tory peer's husband admits making millions

Doug Barrowman, the husband of former Conservative peer Michelle Mone, has admitted to making millions of pounds from government contracts for personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mone, who initially denied any involvement with her husband's company PPE Medpro, has now admitted that she stood to benefit from around £60 million of profit made on the PPE Medpro contracts. The UK government is suing PPE Medpro for breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and the couple is being investigated by the National Crime Agency.
