Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether companies that paid the mandatory desktop review fee to submit an individual application to the Coronavirus Test Devices Approval process will be reimbursed if no outcome is given by the UK Security Agency before the 31 May temporary protocol deadline.

The fee is charged to assess an applicant test to ensure it is safe and of sufficient quality to enter the United Kingdom market. It is not related to the 31 May temporary protocol deadline therefore no reimbursement will be made.
