Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his timetable is for publishing the results of the pilot on daily testing of school pupils who were contacts of covid-19 positive cases.

The daily contact testing trial for secondary schools and colleges concluded in June 2021. The aim of the trial was to keep pupils in face to face education, while reducing the risk of community transmission of COVID-19. The results of the trial were published on 23 July and can be found here: https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2021-07-23-daily-contact-covid-19-testing-students-effective-controlling-transmission-schools and http://modmedmicro.nsms.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/dct_schools_trial_preprint_20210722.pdf.
