answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2021 answer text <p>Foster carers who are eligible for a vaccine because of their age or other clinical factors such as underlying health conditions, will have access to a vaccine in the first phase.</p><p>Phase two of the COVID-19 vaccine programme will cover all adults under 50 year old not already included in phase one. Prioritisation for phase two has not yet been decided, but interim advice by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) recommends an age-based approach, which the Government has accepted in principle.</p><p>The JCVI has concluded that targeted vaccination to reduce transmission or give priority to occupational groups at higher risk of exposure would not be as effective or as fast in reducing mortality, morbidity and hospitalisation as direct protection of those at higher risk of serious disease.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 153284 question first answered 01/04/2021 12:07:46 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 84112 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

tabling member printed	Bell Ribeiro-Addy
uin	153382
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2021 answer text <p>The Government always welcomes constructive proposals from stakeholders to improve the design of the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS), including the suggestion for a Directors Income Support Scheme (DISS) from the Federation of Small Businesses, ForgottenLtd, Re Legal Consulting Ltd, and ACCA UK. This proposal aims to provide a new system for company directors, based on reported profits. The Government has considered this proposal in detail.</p><p> </p><p>The DISS, as currently framed, is intrinsically reliant on self-certification. As the Government cannot readily verify this information, an effect of this reliance on self-certification is to open the scheme up to an unacceptable level of fraud by organised criminal groups and others who would seek to exploit the scheme. The Government cannot expose the tax system to these risks but continues to engage with the FSB regarding these concerns.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/02/2021 11:18:55 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

tabling member constituency	Streatham
tabling member printed	Bell Ribeiro-Addy
uin	153383
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2021 answer text <p>People are not required to prove they have an exemption or reasonable excuse which means they do not need to wear a face covering and it is for individuals to choose how they communicate this to others.</p><p>We expect that the majority of those who do not wear a face covering in regulated settings have a reasonable excuse or exemption. The Government has actively engaged with stakeholders including disability charities to understand the impact of the policy on disabled people. By requesting that members of the public be respectful of circumstances where someone cannot wear a face covering and issuing guidance that no one need prove their exemption, we aim to minimise the negative impact on those with disabilities, which is a protected characteristic. The Department, as a public authority, is legally obliged to give due regard to the Public Sector Equality Duty when making policy decisions by considering the impact of policy on groups with protected characteristics.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 26/02/2021 11:33:02 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
