Starmer: Labour wants the plan to work. But for it to work, the UK needs an effective test and trace system. The latest figures show around 30,000 people are infected. But only around 10,000 people are being reached. There is a big problem, isn’t there?

Johnson: Disagrees. He says Starmer has been “stunned” by the success of the system. He says 87,000 people have been contacted and have agreed to self-isolate. He says Starmer would not have predicted that.
(Note he does not say / deny that only 10,000 of those infected were reached, he uses a reported number of contact made i.e. contacts of 10,000 of those infected)

Starmer: Says Johnson did not address the question. He asks about those not being contacted. He says Johnson risk making the same mistakes as he did at the start. he says he will ask the question in a different way; what is the strategy for reaching those missed.
Johnson: says Starmer has misled MPs.
The Speaker reprimands him.
Johnson: Says Starmer has inadvertently misled MPs.
Starmer I am using the government’s own figures, as shown on this slide used yesterday, and this slide used in another press conference yesterday.

Starmer: The app. This really matters, How on earth do you contact everyone in a crowded place without one. The government used to say it was critical. Now it is only additional. Is it critical or not? You said it would be June. Mnisters are now saying in the winter. When will it be ready?
Johnson: Starmer cannot name a single country in the world with a successful app
Starmer: Germany.
Johnson: Starmer is wrong. No country has a working, contact-tracing app. He says the UK has a fantastic test and trace system running that will be essential to the UK’s success. He says Labour is changing its stance from being supportive yesterday, and asks Starmer is clear up whether he wants Labour councils to encourage pupils back to school?
Starmer:Yes, says Starmer. He says he does want them back. He says the only U-turn came from the education secretary, who committed that they would be more open by now,safely, and failed.
Starmer: He says the children’s commissioner has said that Johnson was wrong about child poverty last week when he answered at PMQs. He has been found out. He either dodges the question, or gives dodgy questions. Will he correct the record?
Johnson: Does not accept that.
Ends.
