Thank you for your answer to my question 2023/4402, in which you confirmed that the ultraviolet (UV) light sanitation equipment was removed from Transport for London (TfL) handrails once it was determined not to be a critical defence against coronavirus. Have you assessed the public health benefits of UV light sanitation in reducing other commonly transmitted diseases and/or bacteria on public transportation, such as Staphylococcus Aureus, E.coli, Klebsiella Pneumoniae or Serratia, before eliminating this cleaning technology?
