We launched our pubs and restaurants taskforce on 11th May to develop new guidelines for their reopening where and when it is safe to do so.

As my Rt. Hon. Friend the Prime Minister announced in the roadmap, it is our ambition to allow such businesses (subject to the scientific and medical advice) from 4th July. Our intention is that any new guidance will precede this.
