Protective Clothing: Procurement
(asked on 6th May 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what (a) quantity and (b) types of personal protective equipment the Government has procured from the 3M factory in Darlington.
This question was answered on 25th June 2020
We do not hold that information as our contracts with existing manufacturers, such as 3M, do not normally specify in which factory they are made. Lord Deighton is leading efforts to increase the domestic supply of personal protective equipment (PPE). Contracts have been signed for over 2 billion items of PPE through United Kingdom-based manufacturers, including facemasks, visors, gowns and aprons.
