Could I just draw Dr. Glynn's attention to thelancet.compeer review of 100,000 air passengers in the United States who used supervised rapid antigen testing? I know time will not allow us to comment on that but it is important that we talk about the pilot schemes in aviation. We rightly did stop the world and travel was stopped and therefore there was only limited travel.

Dr. Holohan knows me from my time as Chair of the health committee. I have never been combative or adversarial in the Chair and I have always sought to protect members and witnesses. If it is possible, I wish to ask a question about AstraZeneca not related to antigen testing.
