I'm sure I'm reading this wrong, but how has the government ordered 17m antibody tests if they haven't been able to find them and nobody has any?
Hancock: We continue to search for antibody test
Matt Hancock is asked about promises of antibody tests that have yet to emerge - which will show if some has already had the virus.
On Thursday he admitted no working test had been found yet.
Today, Mr Hancock says the government has ordered 17 million, but says he has been "absolutely clear all along we will only use them if they work".
He says no G7 country has found a home antibody test that works yet, "but we continue to search for one".
