Debate between Lord Dubs and Earl of Kinnoull

Thursday 25th June 2020 Lords Chamber

[The Deputy Speaker]

Lord McColl of Dulwich. No? We will move on. Lord Dubs.

[Lord Dubs (Lab) [V]]

My Lords, I put it to the Leader of the House that public confidence is not of a high order as regards the Government’s handling. The Minister has said on a number of occasions that discussions are ongoing. What specific plans are available in the event of a second wave on a local level? What would the Government do, as opposed to having ongoing discussions with local authorities? It is all too vague. We need a clear statement of policy about what will trigger local action, which the Government have said they want to support.
