Rachel Reeves – 2021 Comments on Allocation of Government Contracts

The comments made by Rachel Reeves, the Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, on 22 April 2021.

These revelations are explosive. It is shocking that basic checks were missed and companies without proper certification were allowed to jump the queue.

Time and time again Labour has called on the Conservatives to publish details of companies on the VIP fast lane, and time and time again they have refused, and insisted on covering them up.

This is yet more evidence of the Tory sleaze that is happening on Boris Johnson’s watch.

If the Conservatives don’t publish all of the details now, it is further proof that they think it is one rule for them and another for everyone else.
