Petition · past parliament

Instigate a public inquiry urgently on all COVID pandemic public expenditure.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

£8.7bn on PPE losses buried on page 199 of DHSC annual report. That’s on top of £4.3bn Covid grant estimated losses. And more in Covid loan losses. We know these departments were under real pressure but these are huge sums of money. With taxes about to rise in April. Investigate this.
Deem value for money of the tax payers funds, establish what went wrong, why and when.
