Hunt of Kings Heath, Lord

Question
Further to the statement by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath that the procurement of smallpox vaccines fell outside the usual rules governing competitive tendering because the procurement concerns national security (18 April, 633 c1075), whether they regard the announcement by PowderJect Pharmaceuticals that it had been awarded a contract for the supply of smallpox vaccines as a breach of national security [HL 3978].
