We are not there yet, but we are moving towards it. That is what the chief medical officer set out in the press conference on Monday, in part for exactly the reasons the hon. Member sets out.
Aaron Bell (Newcastle-under-Lyme) (Con)
I hugely welcome the fact that we are following the science, including the behavioural science, and the cross-party approach we are taking.

They are completely at liberty to do that, but does it risk undermining the national cohesion we need to rise to this challenge?
