Labour calls for investigation into Serco’s data breach of hundreds of Covid-19 contact tracers
LABOUR demanded an investigation into Serco’s role in the Covid-19 response today after the outsourcing giant shared the email addresses of nearly 300 of its coronavirus contact tracers.
Rachel Reeves, shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, told the government to take urgent action on the breach in order to restore public confidence in the contact-tracing operation.
In a letter to her Tory counterpart, Michael Gove, Ms Reeves also demanded that the government publish the details of coronavirus contracts given to Serco and of the impact of the breach.
