British businesses offering their services to make PPE say they are struggling to get through to the government.
Some business owners have described waiting weeks for a response from the Cabinet Office, having been in contact in March.
On Sunday, Education Secretary Gavin Williamson admitted that some suppliers might have ‘slipped through the net’, after offering their services to the NHS. He urged them to get in contact with the government again and said they would receive a reply in ’24 hours’.Clarke was also asked whether Health Secretary Matt Hancock would resign if the UK is unable to fulfil 100,000 tests by the end of April, as he promised at the start of the month.
After being pushed to answer by Piers, he said: ‘I don’t think that is very helpful speculation at all’. He added that the UK is still boosting testing capacity daily, despite around 22,000 taking place at present.Piers also challenged Clarke over the number of people who have died in the UK from coronavirus. Today the Office for National Statistics reported that, compared to 9,288 in the government’s count.
Covid-19 was mentioned in a third of all death certificates issued in England and Wales in the week to April 10, while in London the virus was cited on more than half, the ONS revealed.
