Brexit: Contract for shipping NHS supplies given to firm behind KFC chicken shortage

Ministers have handed a contract for shipping critical NHS supplies in the event of a no deal Brexit to the firm behind the KFC chicken shortage fiasco.
The Mirror has learned that a Government logistics hub in Belgium will rely on delivery firm DHL to transport some key goods across the Channel.

The fast food chain was forced to temporarily close hundreds of outlets last year following the botched handover of its logistics contract to DHL.

MPs criticised the decision to rely on the firm to provide potentially life-saving drugs and equipment if the UK leaves without a deal.

Whitehall insiders said the hub was just one way that medical products would be brought into the country in a no deal scenario.
