Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (No. 2) (England) Regulations 2020

Baroness Gardner of Parkes Excerpts

Friday 24th July 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Gardner of Parkes (Con) [V]]

My Lords, I note that if we do not approve these regulations today, they will cease to apply, and I would not want that to happen. I welcome them and would like to register the thanks of the dentists, who have now been allowed to work again, to the pharmacists, who have done such a good job during the pandemic. Another bit of good news is that relating to outdoor pools, as many people have approached me on that subject. I hope that this review will prove to be a basis on which we can build. Things have worked very well but it has not been easy for people to follow exactly what they have been meant to do. I strongly support these regulations.
