Education

Matthew Offord Excerpts

Monday 15th June 2020 Ministerial Corrections

The following is an extract from the statement made by the Secretary of State for Education on 9 June 2020.

[Dr Matthew Offord (Hendon) (Con) [V]]

Many children commute into the Hendon constituency to access the high-quality education provided by the London Borough of Barnet. As those children travel by public transport, they will be required to wear masks and take other precautions. Will the Secretary of State outline what precautions he believes there should be for children who use school transport provided by the local authority? Will they be required to take the same precautions as others by wearing masks on their journeys? When they get to school, will they simply disregard those masks?
