Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his Department's timescale is for issuing guidance on the re-opening of (a) out of school and (b) holiday clubs as the covid-19 restrictions are eased.

As my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, has confirmed, holiday clubs and out-of-school clubs for children will be able to restart over the summer, with safety measures in place. Adjustments to current measures for these clubs will be part of step 3 of the recovery strategy from 4 July. We will be providing guidance for the sector on how to implement the protective measures necessary to open safely as soon as possible, and guidance for parents on how to minimise the spread of the virus if they choose to send their children to these clubs.
