Friend is completely right, and, as she will have heard just now, the option to book a staycation is, all being well, now there for 12 April, and I cannot imagine there…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapI repeat the answer I have given several times: all these contracts are published in the normal way.22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapWe need to see the data and the effect of each successive relaxation. As I explained to the House, we need four weeks to assess whether the relaxation has caused a surge in the…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapOf course we will look at sepsis, which is a deeply distressing condition, and at whether it has any association with covid.22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapYes, the hon. Lady should wait to hear what the Chancellor says next week, and we will make sure we go forward as one nation together.22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapYes indeed, my hon. Friend can examine all the data that we have published today. I have set out the criteria by which we will proceed, and I thank him for what he is doing to…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapThe hon. Gentleman is quite right. That is why we have done everything we can through Time to Pay and other means to try to look after the aviation sector, although it has been…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapOf course, we must encourage everybody to take the vaccine, which is a wonderful thing. One of the problems is that, at the moment, we are not, as my hon. Friend knows,…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapWe have provided about £15 billion for the self-employed and will continue to look after them in any way we can.22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapMy hon. Friend is quite right to vent his frustration. I share his frustration; as somebody who yearns to go out and play sport myself, I understand completely how he feels. We…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapMy hon. Friend has caught the tone exactly right; there is just a little bit longer to go now. The Chancellor will be setting out the support that we need to put in place for all…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapThe hon. Gentleman makes a really interesting point. As he knows, indoor education is opening on 8 March. Given that transmission is much less likely outdoors, I would have…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapI defer to my right hon. Friend’s doubtless superior understanding of the biology of the variants, but I have a couple of reassuring points for him. First, we have no reason to…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapWe are making as much data available as we possibly can. Clearly, we cannot make people’s medical records available because that would breach patient confidentiality. The hon.…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapAs I have told the House, non-essential retail will reopen on 12 April. I doubt that I am essential to the opening of Fosse Park, but I am grateful to my hon. Friend for the…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapThis is one of those moments when I sympathise very much with the Leader of the Opposition, because there speaks the authentic voice of the union-dominated Labour left. I do not…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapMy hon. Friend mentions Llandudno, where I recall spending an absolutely hysterical new year’s eve in the St Tudno Hotel. I seem to remember it was 1997—a wonderful year. I wish…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapPerhaps the hon. Member might direct her fire at her own Front Bench and the Leader of the Opposition, because he has just quite rightly supported those plans. I think she has…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapI thank my hon. Friend. I cannot absolutely guarantee that Briana and Jordan’s wedding will be able to go ahead on 1 July, but if we can stick with this road map, and I hope very…22 Feb 2021HANSARDCovid-19: Road MapThe hon.
