Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the level of compliance with social distancing guidance of Border Force officials working at the Eurotunnel terminal in Coquelles to collect fingerprints from people found trying to enter the UK irregularly.
All operational staff have always had the relevant Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) available to them, along with detailed guidance on how to safely deal with individuals who display coronavirus symptoms or where social distancing measures cannot be adhered to.
PPE has been used in line with advice from Public Health England and the Department of Health and Social Care.
