Coronavirus Bill

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Coronavirus Bill.

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way and for taking the issue of communication more seriously than the Secretary of State. We need leaflets going house to house, and we need them in different languages so that different communities can hear this.

The hon. Gentleman’s point about a strict lockdown is well made, but I echo what others have said about the importance of guaranteeing economic security to make it much more possible for people to cope with that lockdown, particularly the self-employed who are now struggling so much. Statutory sick pay is not enough for them.
