Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many applications for self-isolation payments were received in each of the pilot areas up to the end of the first full week of operation; and how many such applications were approved.

We are working closely with all 314 lower tier and unitary local authorities to collate information on how the Test and Trace Support Payment scheme is progressing and will release information on the number of applications, number of successful applications and amounts paid out in due course.
