He added: "The Prime Minister has promised, a world-leading system would be to 1. June.

"I know the Hard Work gone into this, but if two-thirds of respondents not reached with Covid-19 and will be asked to submit your contact details, it is a big problem, isn't it?"

Mr Johnson claimed that Sir Keir is "stunned on the Success of The Test -and-trace," and added: "in contrast to his predictions, gloom, it got up and running much faster than the doubters expected. "

Mr Johnson accused Sir Keir of "a wrong idea of what to test and trace do," claimed the contact is recording with "the vast majority of those who are tested positive and your own contacts and to isolate them".

Sir Keir reaffirmed its support for lockdown easing, but said the PM was "wrong to reject the challenge," and added: "65,000 people have lost their lives because of the Covid-19. The Prime Minister should be a welcome challenge that could save lives, rather than complain about it. "

Tracking app

The Labour leader in question, it is set to on, to keep track of when a Mobile Phone app people who had contact with others who would run The Virus .

The Labour leader quoted health Minister Matt Hancock - who said the name of the app "critical" in may, but later, it was "only a system of additional support" - ask-the-clock, "What is it?"

Mr Johnson said there were "a single country in The World , has worked as a functional contract tracing-app", but England's test and tracing system.

Sir Keir said, Germany had a functioning app, with 12 million downloads before the Prime Minister to a series of delays, the app and the cost of £12m.

"Other countries are ahead of us," He Said . "If we now have a functioning app?"

The clock said it was "completely wrong" about Germany and said that the government had "always been absolutely clear that the app was the icing on the cake".
