Health department signs two contracts to store drugs under ‘no-deal’ Brexit

Health department signs two contracts to store drugs under ‘no-deal’ Brexit Officials hope third contract for warehousing will be signed shortly, with total cost of £10m

The government has signed two contracts to secure warehouse space for the storage of drugs as part of ‘no-deal’ Brexit planning but officials are still working to secure a third with just 11 weeks to go before the UK leaves the EU.

Details of the Department of Health’s work on one of the most sensitive areas of Brexit planning emerged as the government comes under intensive pressure to say which firms it is working with following controversy over a £13.8m contract given to a ‘start-up’ freight company to operate ferries in the case of no deal, and questions about the way it was allocated. The Guardian
