Supermarkets have said Matt Hancock's claim they will deliver food to those who are self-isolating over coronavirus fears was "totally made up".
The health secretary said during a Question Time appearance on Thursday that the government was in talks with retailers about home deliveries.
"We are working with the supermarkets to make sure that, if people are self-isolating, then we will be able to get the food and supplies that they need," he said.
However, supermarket sources have said they have not been involved in discussions.

Maybe he's one of those people who think that if they thought something that automatically means they said it.
