Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether criminal record checks are carried out on the (a) business and (b) associated people of companies listed as providers on the gov.uk coronavirus travel test provider list.

These providers are not subject to criminal record checks. However, any provider may be removed from GOV.UK on a precautionary basis pending investigation if they are believed to be putting public safety at risk or not meeting the minimum standards. The Department monitors issues raised by the public, taking action where appropriate.  We reserve the right to remove a provider from GOV.UK during this process and pass collected information through to regulatory bodies.
