Hancock backed pressuring MP into voting for lockdown, messages reveal
By Sam FrancisPolitical reporter, BBC News
Matt Hancock supported threatening to block a disability centre in a Tory MP's constituency in a bid to get him to vote for The Covid tier system in England, leaked massages suggest.
WhatsApp messages show Mr Hancock agreed to put pressure on James Daly , Conservative MP for Bury North, if he failed to vote with The government.
Matt Hancock 's spokesperson said: " What has been accused here Never Happened . "
Former Tory Party chair Sir Jake Berry called The Plan " an absolute disgrace".
, Mr Hancock's political aide Allan Nixon suggested putting pressure on MPs elected in 2019 who's " re-election hinges" on central government funding.
Mr Nixon proposed warning Mr Daly that funding for a new centre for disabled children and adults in his constituency would be " off The table" if he voted against new plans for a
Mr Hancock replied: " Yes 100%. "
Mr Daly told The Telegraph The Threat was never carried out and added he was unaware The Department for Health and Social Care had plans to give Bury North a disability hub, which would provide specialists with a dedicated centre for co-ordinating local activity.
Under The December 2020 tier scheme, every area of England was put into one of Three tiers - Medium (one), high (two) and very high (Three ) - with The vast majority of The population in The Higher two tiers.
According to The Paper , leaked messages show Mr Daly was more concerned with support for pubs in areas placed in The Higher tiers because they were unable to serve food.
Under The System , bars in tier two were only allowed to stay open if they served " substantial meals" while those in tier Three could only provide takeaways or deliveries.
But Mr Daly said he was " appalled" and " disgusted" that The Hub was discussed as a way of coercing him into voting with ministers.
MPs eventually backed The government's plans for The tier system by 291 votes to 78 despite a large rebellion by Tory MPs - including Mr Daly.
Fifty-five Conservatives voted against The Plan - The largest rebellion of then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson 's Time In No 10.
Responding to The Telegraph's article, former Conservative Party chairman Sir Jake Berry tweeted that Mr Hancock " should be dragged to The Bar of The House of Commons first thing Tomorrow Morning to be questioned on this".
Sir Jake's name appeared on a government list of 95 Tory MPs who had concerns about The introduction of lockdown tiers, according The Telegraph, and was considered a likely Rebel - although he ended up voting with ministers.
A spokesperson for Mr Hancock said The Message exchange was an " entirely partial account".
" The Missing context here is vitally important because this vote was critical for Saving Lives , " The spokesperson added.
" What's being accused here Never Happened , demonstrating The Story is wrong, and showing why such a biased, partial approach to The Evidence is a bad mistake, driven by those with a vested interest and an axe to grind.
" The Right place to consider everything about The pandemic objectively is in The Public inquiry. "
The Bbc has not been able to independently verify The messages.
