He said: “At a time of national crisis, PPE Medpro sold the previous government substandard kit and pocketed taxpayers’ hard-earned cash.
“PPE Medpro has failed to meet the deadline to pay – they still owe us over £145 million, with interest now accruing daily.”
The firm was ordered to pay interest of £23.6m, which means the total sum owed is £145.6m.
According to the DHSC, this sum will accrue interest at 8% per year from Thursday until it is fully paid.
PPE Medpro entered administration on 30 September.
It was awarded a government contract in 2020 to supply PPE after being recommended by Baroness Mone.
However, after ordering 25 million sterile gowns from PPE Medpro, the government later launched legal action in 2022 through the High Court, claiming the gowns did not comply with the agreed contract.
PPE Medpro argued it had complied with the contract and that the gowns were sterile.
Since the court judgement, Baroness Mone has faced cross-party calls for her to be stripped of her peerage.
However, peerages can only be removed by an act of Parliament.
