Covid-19: Test and Trace App

Lord Duncan of Springbank Excerpts

Monday 22nd June 2020 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Bates) (Con)]

Order. We are having some technical difficulties hearing the noble Baroness’s question, so we will go to the next question, from the noble Lord, Lord Duncan of Springbank, and come back to her if there is time.

[Lord Duncan of Springbank (Con) [V]]

My Lords, I have listened to my noble friend and feel that confidence in the Government has been shaken by this approach. I have one question: how do we anticipate this approach now being rolled out across the four nations of the United Kingdom and how will they interface, one with another?

[Lord Bethell]

My Lords, in all aspects of our battle against Covid, we have sought a four-nations approach. We hope to work together for one solution. I am aware that other nations are looking at their own options, but it is our hope that, in time, they will all come together for one solution.
