answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2021 answer text <p>Officials in the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Transport have discussed options for reducing the cost of travel testing, including whether National Health Service lateral flow tests could be used by arrivals from ‘amber’ and ‘green list’ countries. However, lateral flow tests are not permitted for most international arrivals as they are not suitable for identifying variants. Polymerase chain reaction testing of inbound travellers and genome sequencing of positive samples are crucial for disease surveillance and identification of potentially harmful variants.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 01/07/2021 17:01:07 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

This adheres to the standard practice for the release of information about the work of the department, both through the quarterly national statistics and the additional transparency data that is released, which ensure that statistics are published properly in a way which is open and accessible to all. This information will not include a breakdown of the vulnerability criteria, or the family composition of the refugees that have been resettled.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 26/01/2016 16:51:41 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford previous answer version 40643 answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
