Grant Shapps has denied claims that staff at Covid-hit DVLA offices in Swansea have been told to turn off their NHS Test and Trace apps.
The Transport Secretary told MPs he takes the severe outbreak of coronavirus at the UK Government’s Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency “extremely seriously”, but that “no request” for workers to turn off their tracing apps has been made.
It comes as ministers were urged to intervene after 500 cases at the Welsh offices left staff scared to work.
On Wednesday, the DVLA confirmed the death of a member of its staff with the PCS union stating it was “deeply concerned” by the outbreak.
