Lord Bethell
My Lords, the introduction of face masks is something that has been recommended by the Government, but the mandatory wearing of them is not. We are looking at the various recommendations from SAGE to inform the proposals that might come after the lifting of social distancing, but our focus remains on hygiene, social distancing and isolation. Those are the three most effective measures and we remain committed to them for the moment.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Bates) (Con)
My Lords, the time allowed for the Urgent Question has now elapsed.
