Part of the debate – in the House of Commons at 12:43 pm on 29th September 2020.
It was the Health Secretary’s refusal last week to rule out students not being able to return home for Christmas that caused a great deal of distress to students and indeed to parents, so the Education Secretary’s clear statement today that students will be able to go home will be welcome. However, may I bring him back to the question put to him by Mr Harper, which I do not think he quite answered? Under the current rules, can students go home to self-isolate?
