Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, for what reasons posters on the HM Courts and Tribunals Service estate advise people to pause contract tracing through the NHS covid-19 app when entering the estate.

Posters advising people to pause contact tracing have not been put up for those entering the HM Courts and Tribunals Service estate.

Posters describing when to pause contract tracing have been placed in areas where people are:

• working behind a fixed Perspex (or equivalent) screen and are fully protected from other people, and
• next to lockers where mobile phones are stored.

These scenarios are covered in the NHS Test and Trace app FAQ: https://faq.covid19.nhs.uk/article/KA-01100/en-us

The posters remind people to turn the contact tracing back on when they leave these areas.
