	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2020 answer text <p>The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chair of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf. <br>We have sought advice from Public Health England in developing a policy on testing. Our policy remains that we adhere to applicable Government and PHE guidance, which is that anyone who is symptomatic should seek a test. That guidance also suggests testing of key workers who are self-isolating or whose household contains someone exhibiting the three main COVID-19 symptoms. The Parliamentary authorities have put in place a limited capacity for delivery of these tests. The testing is in order to maintain the resilience of the operation of the Chamber and committees. As testing is only availability in these limited circumstances, there is no advice on the frequency of testing. <br>No one should come onto the Estate if they have symptoms, for any reason.</p> answering member printed Lord Laming question first answered 30/09/2020 11:40:21 answering member 2079 label Biography information for Lord Laming
