Public Health

Proceeding contribution from Mark Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 November 2021. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Public Health.

The Minister mentioned the UK Health Security Agency, the head of which my right hon. Friend the Member for New Forest West (Sir Desmond Swayne) was referring to. Dr Harries

said two things this morning. First, she said that people should not socialise. Secondly, she also implied�only implied, to be fair�that people should work from home. When the Prime Minister was asked about that, he made it clear that that was not the Government�s position and that people should follow the advice. I listened carefully to the Minister�s answer and I do not think that is quite what she said. Could she be clear that Dr Harries was speaking only for herself, not for the Government?
