Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether their Department has purchased mobile UV virus irradiation units.
A number of ultraviolet (UV) based virus irradiation units (VIU) were purchased during the Covid 19 pandemic. These were procured to support the overall respiratory infection control measures in specific scenarios. They were installed in a number of small Interview Under Caution rooms and were also added to a number of the new temporary job centres, that were created during the height of the pandemic.
