Martin Callanan says he hopes colleague ‘sees sense’ after Mone admitted lying to media over links to PPE firm
A Conservative minister has said he hopes his former colleague Michelle Mone “sees sense” and does not return to the Lords after Mone admitted she lied in denying involvement with a company that held UK government PPE deals during the Covid pandemic.
The comments by Lord Callanan, the energy efficiency minister, heap further pressure on Mone, who had repeatedly denied a connection to PPE Medpro, which made millions of pounds in profits during the pandemic.
