Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the provision of a courier collection service for covid-19 testing companies is a requirement for inclusion on the Government's approved list of covid-19 testing companies for people returning to the UK from overseas.

A courier collection service is not a requirement. However, we are working alongside test providers and delivery providers to ensure that delivery systems used are both timely and reliable.
