And now, after over a year of digging, it seems Government will be forced to reveal which ministers, MPs or officials referred firms onto the 'VIP lane' for test and trace, too

When Good Law Project first uncovered the Government’s priority route for politically connected testing firms, Ministers strongly denied our claims:

“These claims are completely false…"

✅However in September, following a long-standing Freedom of Information battle, we finally forced UKHSA – which oversaw the testing procurement process – to come clean and publish the names of the firms who benefited.

⁉️But, one crucial piece of information remains missing – the names of the ministers, MPs or officials who referred the firms onto the “VIP” fast-track lane...

For months, the Government has argued it would be too costly to track down the names of the referrers - we think this is a baseless claim...

And 2 weeks ago, the ICO agreed, ordering UKHSA to publish the names within 35 days or issue a fresh response, or risk being found in contempt of court🧑‍⚖️

@goodlawproject All fine and dandy, but what LEGAL sanctions will be imposed? I suspect UK system is not robust enough to pursue real action for such wrongdoings.
