Lord Bethell [V]
I completely agree with the noble Lord that we need to get the economy back, and I very much agree with his last word—safely. The CMO’s advice is very clear that social distancing of two metres makes a very big difference compared with one metre. When the time comes to move from two metres to one metre, we will very clear about that moment, and I, for one, will celebrate the reopening of restaurants and pubs, which are a source of great joy and happiness for the nation.
The Deputy Speaker (Lord Duncan of Springbank) (Con)
My Lords, the time allowed for questions has now elapsed.
