We will follow up with the Department and ask it to interact with Professor Ferguson immediately with regard to a pilot scheme for antigen testing in the aviation sector. We can do it in the essential worker space, as Professor Ferguson recommended in his report. Will he comment on the vaccination programme that is under way and the digital green pass being proposed by the European Commission? How does he believe these matters will feed into antigen testing becoming the benchmark test for air travel? Obviously, positive antigen tests would have to be followed up with a PCR test. That is a given. Will Professor Ferguson make his final comments in that area?
