At airports (asymptomatic people) only 7% of tests give an accurate result

Which I assume applies to all the other tests done on asymptomatic people? Like the ones asked to test in areas under lockdown?

Quite likely, yes. Though the airports thing is a strawman argument; actual proposals are for testing at the airport and then again a few days later. (Or a couple of days before travel, then at the airport when they arrive. Or something like that. So not a single test at the airport. And Raaaab, etc., are perfectly well aware of that.)
 
A number of the Back-benchers were trying to push for Airport testing yesterday during the Covid debate.
 
It's not a health statement. It's just a made up figure so that the government don't need to pay for airport testing.It's not a figure that can be challenged, because nobody has ever tested to provide that data.
