It is on the basis of worsening data that we have taken the difficult call not to proceed with Step 4 reopening at this point, but to pause for four weeks until 19 July.</p> answering member constituency Sutton and Cheam answering member printed Paul Scully question first answered 23/06/2021 12:20:00 answering member 4414 label Biography information for Paul Scully
