Boris Johnson misled parliament over the publication of coronavirus contracts, a court order suggests, according to The Independent.
The prime minister had claimed that the contracts, which are subject to a legal challenge and cronyism allegations, were in the public domain.
However, a High Court order on Friday shows that the government had only published “608 out of 708 relevant contracts”.
Gemma Abbott, the legal director of the Good Law Project, said: “Unless contract details are published, they cannot be properly scrutinised — there’s no way of knowing where taxpayers’ money is going and why.”
