The former Health Secretary and current Levelling Up Secretary are among witnesses spoken to by "Britain's FBI" in recent months as part of an inquiry into PPE Medpro.

It won £ 200 million of Government contracts to supply masks and gowns during the pandemic.

But the Department of Health said that the gowns it bought were not sterile and therefore unusable. It is suing PPE Medpro for more than £130million. The firm rejects the claims.

Others questioned by the NCA include Lord Bethell, a former Health Minister, and Lord Agnew, who served in the Cabinet Office.
