Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the implications for the Government pilot of lateral flow testing at Jaguar Land Rover and other workplaces of the MHRA's refusal to authorise the daily use of that testing in schools.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has not refused to authorise daily lateral flow testing in schools. The MHRA excluded daily testing of one type of lateral flow device which was not deployed in schools.
