ANSWERS BUSINESS, ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY Bounce Back Loan Scheme David Mundell: [115527] To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of enabling applicants for Bounce Back Loan top-ups to amend errors on their initial application where evidence for that error can be provided. Paul Scully: In order to support businesses as quickly as possible, the Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) was designed with a streamlined application process, which included an element of self-certification. This allows lenders to process applications at a much quicker pace than would be normally expected in the issuing of a commercial loan. Whilst there is no mechanism in the scheme’s

  • Covid-19 INNOVA Testing in Schools: Don’T Just Test, Evaluate

    Covid-19 INNOVA Testing in Schools: Don’T Just Test, Evaluate

    Covid-19 INNOVA testing in schools: don’t just test, evaluate Using testing to manage classroom outbreaks, without isolating close contacts, risks increasing disease spread, say these authors Everybody wants schools to reopen when it is safe to do so, but for pupils, teachers, and their communities to remain safe they must stay close to covid free. Last term, schools limited pupil mixing and activities, and isolated pupil groups at home once a covid-19 case was identified, although many struggled with the lack of clear guidance. This term the government is planning to rely on INNOVA rapid lateral flow tests to mass screen staff and pupils, and serial test close school-contacts of covid cases. [1] The proposed strategies were announced to schools on the last day of term before the Christmas break, providing no time for schools to scrutinise and discuss their scientific basis, or to organise how the lateral flow test policy will be delivered. Lockdown now provides an opportunity to do this, albeit some schools have already started using tests in keyworkers’ children who continue to attend. There are two different components to the government’s testing plan. The first, mass testing of staff and pupils on return and twice weekly thereafter, aims to detect individuals who have asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic infection. Using the test to identify infected individuals who successfully isolate and prevent onward transmission is a clearly good outcome. However, there are three questions to ask: first, whether other testing strategies could produce better outcomes; second, could the same or fewer resources be more effectively used in other ways to contain infection; and third, whether there are likely to be unintended consequences of testing which could counter any benefit.

    COR0251 Supplementary written evidence submitted by Kelley Lee, Julianne Piper and Benoit Gomis, Pandemics and Borders Project, Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University, Canada (COR0251) WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EFFECTIVE BORDER MANAGEMENT OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS? 1. The UK, and other countries with rising vaccination levels, are entering a challenging period in relation to border management. Increased vaccination means lower transmission and thus pressures to relax public health measures including increased travel domestically and abroad. At the same time, the volume of circulating virus globally, new variants continue to evolve, with those more transmissible and virulent, and/or vaccine-evasive VOC moving the goalposts on herd immunity. 2. Most disruptive would be if a partial-escape variant emerges, i.e., one able to infect a significant number of fully vaccinated people and cause severe disease. A recent study modelled different scenarios in Canada for vaccine coverage and efficacy. The most damaging, by far, was a partial-escape variant. COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths were predicted to be twice as high as the next most serious scenario.1 Even with 75% full vaccination of the total population (Canada’s present target for the end of the summer), a partial-escape variant could result in a fourth wave. Even at 90% full vaccination, the study showed a partial-escape variant would be disruptive. 3. Effective management of travel-related risks will thus be critical over next 12-18 months, particularly given slow progress on achieving global equity in access to vaccines. There are risks to the gains achieved from mass vaccination.

    24 January 2020 Issue 1,938 Political Affairs Digest A daily summary of political events affecting the Jewish Community Contents Home Affairs Relevant Legislation Holocaust Consultations Home Affairs Westminster Hall Debate Assisted Dying Law col 186WH Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat): … The current law in this country simply is not working. I hope that we can begin to address today the effect of that law on terminally ill people and their loved ones, and on public servants such as doctors, health and social care professionals, police and coroners. … this issue is hugely evocative, can involve issues of faith and puts the medical profession in the most difficult of positions. It is also, of course, the most personal, intimate and ultimate of decisions. … Andrew Selous (Conservative): … Does the hon. Lady agree that we need to be very careful to ensure that old and sick people do not feel a pressure to end their lives, perhaps from their children, who might want to inherit their assets and to whom they may feel they are being a burden? Christine Jardine: … That is why I am so concerned that we should have a very narrow and precise definition if we change the law. … col 187WH Fiona Bruce (Conservative): What is the hon. Lady’s response to the evidence that, in countries where assisted suicide has been made legal, investment in palliative care has fallen? Christine Jardine: … That is something we would have to be aware of, but I believe it is up to us to address it. … col 188WH Rupa Huq (Labour): … I get her point that saying goodbye in an airport is not the best thing for people who choose to go to Switzerland, but at the same time I worry about safeguards.
