I am glad that governments can do more than one thing at a time. It would be deeply depressing if all we were acting upon was Covid 19 and Brexit. In fact, a number of positive issues are being taken forward underneath the noise and drama of those two dominating issues.
NHS Covid-19 app launched in England and Wales to help control the spread of coronavirus.
App will alert people if they have come into contact with someone who later tests positive for coronavirus.
I had a slight problem with my heart in August (not really serious) so I have taken the decision, based on medical advice, not to return to Westminster while the spike in Covid 19 lashes our country once again.
Mr Speaker, with your permission, I will make a statement on our response to the rising number of Coronavirus cases and how we must act now to avoid still graver consequences later on.
As many of you know, I have for some years written a weekly column for the Plympton Plymstock and Ivybridge News, the local free sheet distributed to 80% of homes in South West Devon Constituency.
Mr Speaker, before I begin, I am sure the whole House will join me in sending our deepest condolences to the families and friends of James Furlong, Joe Ritchie-Bennett and David Wails, who were brutally killed in Reading on Saturday.
I'm delighted that the Government have today agreed to continue the Coronavirus voucher scheme for children in receipt of Free School Meals throughout the Summer Holidays.
