Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 March 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Covid-19.
Covid-19
Those of us who represent large numbers of EU citizens are hearing concerning accounts of what is happening in their home countries. There are towns in northern Italy, of a similar size to many of our constituencies, that have seen thousands of cases of the virus, and hundreds of deaths. I assume the Foreign Secretary is getting similar responses from our embassies around the world. Are those being used to inform the UK response, even if it involves a worst-case scenario?
