At the moment, progress with the vaccine rollout and beating the virus is crucial in achieving the next stages for large events as set out in the roadmap.</p><p>We are working closely with the sector to determine the appropriate and most effective response within the public health context. We will continue to engage with HMT on this matter.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 08/03/2021 17:01:29 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
