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
