Lords ChamberThe Government are consulting widely on the measures to be taken, balancing and looking at the trade-offs not only in health but with wider societal factors.
My Lords, nearly 1,000 people are dying every week from Covid. What is the trigger in deaths before plan B comes into effect?
I am not sure I agree with the noble Baroness on the figure she cites; I will double-check and write to her. On the triggers, it is clear that we have to look at a range of factors before deciding whether to move to plan B.
