Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to retain support bubbles in the event that tighter restrictions are introduced during the January 2021 covid-19 lockdown period.

The Government recognises the important function that support bubbles can play for those most acutely impacted by social contact restrictions. We keep the restrictions under continual review and will make changes if the data and science support it.
