Interesting development: ‘All laboratories should determine the threshold for a positive result at the limit of detection’ labs, start with reporting the cycle threshold of 30https://twitter.com/AlistairHaimes/status/1303101367733620746 …
OK this is a big move in the right direction for UK testing, hopefully; the devil will be in the detail and implementation.
Yet again I suspect we have @carlheneghan to thank for this.

That would a big move indeed. Many supplier are recommending "<40" or even "any signal considered positive". (last column
