Q1 Antony Higginbotham Con Lancaster and Fleetwood
Employment
Context

The UK government has been releasing guidance on how businesses can safely reopen.

Question

In light of the Government's publication, could the Minister detail how the covid-secure guidance will be publicised and if there is a PR campaign to ensure that employers who can operate safely do so?

Answer from Mims Davies (Minister of State for Family, Children, Social Care and Veterans)

The Prime Minister announced yesterday that those who can return to work safely should do so. I encourage all employers and employees to use the safety at work guides being published later this week to support decisions about workplace safety. The guidelines will help inform and support businesses as they reopen.
