Matt Hancock's pub landlord neighbour who won £30million contracts to make Covid test tubes faces probe by UK's medical regulator
Alex Bourne (pictured together Matt Hancock) supplied tens of millions of Covid tests through his company Hinpack Matt Hancock's former neighbour and pub landlord is under investigation by the UK's medical regulator, it has been revealed. Alex Bourne, who crossed paths with the Health Secretary while running the Cock Inn in Thurlow, West Suffolk, began producing millions of NHS Covid test vials during the pandemic after exchanging a personal WhatsApp message with Mr Hancock. His company, Hinpack, which was originally a packaging manufacturer, won around £30million in work to supply a distributor contracted by the NHS with two million test tubes a week, as well as around 500,000 plastic funnels for test samples. However the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has now confirmed it has launched a probe into Mr Bourne's company - which had no previous experience of making medical supplies prior to the pandemic. It comes after the High Court ruled the Health Secretary unlawfully failed to publish details of billions of pounds' worth of coronavirus-related contracts. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...regulator.html |
