During the first wave of the pandemic, the following things happened:
1. Schools, hairdressers, garages turned over their businesses to create homemade PPE because we had hardly any, and many frontline workers were dying. Many of these people did this totally unpaid....

2. People all over the country came together to sew scrubs. Lots of people did this, again, for no money whatsoever.
3. Doctors I represent were told they had no access to central supplies of PPE, and were advised to sort themselves out (they made PPE out of laminated sheets...

and sanitary towels. They went to B+Q and bought any face masks they could find. Many didn’t have any. Many frontline workers died. They were unprotected, and they died.
4. The notion that any of these people would be seeking financial compensation, or profit, or tax breaks...

from this situation is ludicrous. Of course they didn’t. Their sole aim was to protect each other and stay alive.

5. The notion that Dyson would seek a financial incentive to helping in the crisis providing PPE is despicable. Despicable.
