Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment SAGE has made of the potential effect on covid-19 transmission rates of the UK hosting the G7 summit in Cornwall in June 2021; and if he will make a statement.
The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies has made no such assessment.
The United Kingdom is pleased to host the G7 Leaders' Summit in Cornwall in June and to discuss a range of important global issues, including the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and tackling climate change. We intend to host our guests in a way that is safe and secure for all parties.
