PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Public Houses: Coronavirus (10 June 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, when he plans to publish covid-19 guidance for pubs on how to re-open safely.

Asked by:
James Wild (Conservative)

Answer

The Government launched our pubs and restaurants taskforce on the 11th of May to develop new guidelines for their reopening where and when it is safe to do so.

As my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister announced in the roadmap, it is our ambition to allow such businesses (subject to the scientific and medical advice) from the 4th of July. Our intention is that any new guidance will precede this.
