Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to provide additional (1) personal protection equipment, and (2) training, for Armed Forces personnel to carry out door-to-door COVID-19 testing.
Armed Forces personnel have been carrying out door-to-door testing as part of Defence's ongoing COVID-19 response.
The safety and welfare of our Armed Forces is paramount, and all personnel wear appropriate PPE, in line with Public Health England guidance and existing Force protection measures.
No additional training is required, but all personnel are suitably briefed to carry out testing.
