Coronavirus
Dear Home Office,
Please could I ask how many private contractors of the present Research, Information and Communications Unit (RICU) have been assigned to countering coronavirus disinformation since December 2019. How much are the contracts worth? Which contractors?
Yours faithfully,
Dr Emma L Briant
