That is why the government has announced its plans for schools, colleges, specialist settings and local authority adult education services to fully reopen to all children, young people, apprentices and adult learners from the beginning of the autumn term for full time education.</p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 09/07/2020 11:24:51 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge
