Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the scientific evidential basis for the closure of leisure centres, gyms, golf clubs, tennis clubs and other outdoor sports facilities under the November 2020 covid-19 lockdown restrictions.

In recognition of the importance of transparency in these unprecedented times, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) has been publishing the statements and the accompanying evidence it has reviewed to demonstrate how the scientific understanding of COVID-19 has continued to evolve as new data emerges, and how SAGE’s advice has quickly adapted to new findings that reflect a changing situation.

The Government has these restrictions constantly under review.
