Rachel Reeves has announced that she will initiate investigations into over £600 million worth of Covid contracts awarded during the Conservative government. This move comes as Labour seeks to regain its footing amid ongoing scrutiny over ethical concerns related to party donations. In her upcoming conference speech, the Chancellor will reveal that she has referred more than half of the contracts, which include supplies like masks, to the newly appointed Covid corruption commissioner. This decision follows the previous government's suggestion to abandon any inquiries into these contracts. As Labour grapples with recent allegations, Reeves' actions aim to address the party's commitment to transparency and accountability in the handling of public funds during the pandemic.
