Fleur Anderson MP, Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, responding to confirmation that Matt Hancock personally appointed Gina Coladangelo, said:

“Matt Hancock may have resigned but this matter is far from closed.

“The Government must publish all documents relating to the appointment of Gina Coladangelo.

“The role of a Non-Executive Director is to challenge and scrutinise the Minister. We need to know if the nature of their relationship was declared and whether the recruitment process was carried out in a fair and transparent way.”
