Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, what discussions he has had with the Cabinet Secretary on the capacity of Government Departments to support Ministers participating in physical parliamentary proceedings from 2 June 2020.

The guidance to Government departments is the same as other workplaces. Ministers and their officials should continue to work from home where that is possible. Where Ministers are required to attend Parliament, they should do so in line with the latest Government guidance. Ministers should discuss their requirements with departments, so that support can be offered safely.
