Matt Hancock chairs today’s Downing Street press conference after being warned by the country’s statistics watchdog that the Government’s testing figures for coronavirus are “still far from complete and comprehensible”.
David Norgrove, chairman of the UK Statistics Authority, said the way the Government presented the figures appeared to be aimed at showing “the largest possible number of tests, even at the expense of understanding”.
Elsewhere, Housing Minister Simon Clarke has said that it is going to be “very, very difficult” for people to take summer holidays this year, despite confirming that air bridges are still part of a “live” debate.
Speakers:
– Matt Hancock, Health Secretary
– Prof John Newton. coordinator of the national testing effort
