Covid-19 Update

Debate between Karl Turner and Sajid Javid

Monday 6th December 2021 Commons Chamber

[Sajid Javid]

Departments across Government work together on the pandemic, and that means that my Department works very closely with the Department for Transport.

[Karl Turner (Kingston upon Hull East) (Lab)]

Not all, but most Members of this House and the general public would support the Secretary of State when he says that he has to impose further curbs on people’s freedoms, but does he not accept that people would perhaps be a bit more enthusiastic if when he comes back to the Dispatch Box, he fesses up, accepts that there was a knees-up in No. 10 last year when people were dying without family members there present with them, and apologises on behalf of the Prime Minister?

[Sajid Javid]

I thought it was going to be a serious question.
