UK Government Removes Procurement Ban Clause, Parliamentarian Vows To Re-Introduce

The 'sitting UK government' here means the Prime Minister's office - known as the Cabinet Office and roughly equivalent to the US White House - represented by Alex Burghart, the Parliamentary Secretary for the Cabinet Office and Conservative MP.
