Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether small businesses are able and/or entitled to obtain free or subsidised covid-19 lateral flow tests.

The offer of tests to most workplaces ended in England at the end of July 2021. Employers were encouraged to direct their employees to order home tests from GOV.UK, collect from local pharmacies or order by calling 119. Free tests are available to employees of small businesses through these direct channels.
