These are schoolboy excuses and frankly stinks of corruption.
A minister has told MPs she has been "unable to locate a formal note" of a phone call between health minister Lord Bethell and Covid contractor Randox.
Labour accused health minister Gillian Keegan of making "ridiculous" excuses to avoid transparency.
It wants to see minutes of the call and other details, amid controversy over £600m in contracts handed to Randox.
Owen Paterson, who quit as an MP after being found to be a paid lobbyist for Randox, also sat in on the call.
