FILE - In this file photo dated Thursday, May 21, 2020, personal protection equipment being used in a coronavirus ward at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge, England. British government said Thursday Aug.6, 2020, that it won’t be using 50 million face masks it bought for medics during the coronavirus outbreak because of concerns they might not be safe.
The papers, published Thursday, are part of a lawsuit against the Conservative government by campaigning groups the Good Law Project and EveryDoctor. They want the courts to review contracts signed by the government for personal protective equipment, which they say were not properly scrutinized. Jolyon Maugham, director of the Good Law Project, said the government had signed three contracts worth more than 100 million pounds each “with respectively a pest control company, a confectioner and a family hedge fund.”The government said in its response to the lawsuit that the offer to supply the 50 million masks came from Andrew Mills, a businessman who is both an adviser to the government’s Board of Trade and to Ayanda Capital. Mills has denied there was any conflict of interest.
Just put them aside for next round with China.
Incredible.
Surely they have experts to check the 50 Million Face Masks to see if they are safe!
Somehow I’m sure this will be labeled as Trumps fault.
Yes. Best not to use something that works only 80% of the time. Go around without a mask. How wonderfully American.
Mask don’t work for general public use anyways.
Because all were low quality Made in China?
Another amazing win from this hopeless 🇬🇧 government, we can add it to our world beating test and trace system amongst others
And is any country going to take legal action against defective PPE suppliers- many of whom emanate from China? BorisJohnson ScottMorrisonMP POTUS
How about selling them to the public who can use them ?
Face masks don't work. Why did Fauci lie and say we don't need masks? He gets a free pass for mass death.
Laura Ingraham of FOX NEWS will definitely be retweeting this headline.😂😂😂
Masks are generally useless for what we are being told to wear them for.
'Are you a junkie?' O'Biden
TheView Who do you trust to hold China accountable? JoeBiden who sold them our technology to make their subs undetectable or POTUS who’s sanctions crippled China paying the US billions of dollars? Joe said he’s taking them off because it’s not fair to China to punish them.
TheView I believe POTUS he is an upstanding American. JoyVBehar
