Documents seen by the Guardian suggest he and Lady Mone were kept informed of specific commercial arrangements about PPE Medpro’s supplies. And Mone appears to have sent messages to an individual in PPE Medpro’s supply chain about the contract to supply gowns. It will also raise questions about repeated attempts by Mone and Barrowman to distance themselves from PPE Medpro. Once it had become public that she had recommended PPE Medpro to the Cabinet Office, Mone’s lawyers said that after the referral – which they described as a “very simple, solitary and brief step” – she “did not do anything further in respect of PPE Medpro”. A director of both the Isle of Man and UK versions of PPE Medpro was Anthony Page.
