The Prime Minister

Unfortunately, in Stoke-on-Trent North, Kidsgrove and Talke, schools such as the Excel Academy and Ormiston Horizon Academy have staff and students testing positive for coronavirus.

Does he agree that schools should be prioritised for testing to ensure that both staff and students are back in the classroom as soon as possible?
