In Parliament

From my understanding of the helpline, the activity that it did remained and, in fact, the vast majority moved online, reflecting the change

As I have said, the armed forces have played a vital role in supporting the NHS and others to manage the situation, and I join my hon.

My hon. Friend raises a very important point about care homes.

Reflecting on where the armed forces have been needed most shows that we have helped the most in logistics, command and control, and testing

Mobile testing is a capability developed between the Department of Health and Social Care and the Ministry of Defence under DHSC direction.

Defence remains ready to contribute however requested, with a further 16,000 troops available at high readiness if required.

I am grateful to the right hon. Member. The reality is that we have a grip, because we do have a plan.

As to the hon. Member’s point about the veterans community and keeping an eye on them, my hon.

We are unstinting in our gratitude to the armed forces, who perform exceptional feats to protect this country.

My hon.
