Interesting that when you look at the Sky News bulletin on the same subject, it states "On the Turkish side, two sources said a formal request from the UK related to the PPE consignment was not made until Sunday and the Turkish authorities immediately assisted", yet doesnt actually indicate who those sources are and whether they were actually involved in any discussions between the Turkish and UK Governments on this.

Still, I suppose its easier to call them liars rather than acknowledge that Ministers are sometimes given information to brief by individuals who havent done their job properly..........
