I am very happy to work with the hon. Gentleman and others to make sure people get the fair treatment they deserve.
Sir Bernard Jenkin (Harwich and North Essex) (Con)
At a time when we do not yet have the world-beating track and trace system or enough tests because of logistical problems, why are the Government excluding senior military commanders from key decision making and preventing them from bringing to bear their logistical capabilities?
Matt Hancock
On the contrary, the military’s support has been absolutely brilliant in expanding the testing system—test and trace—and it is engaged in the development of our vaccine roll-out plans. The work that senior military personnel have done is absolutely first rate.
