answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2020 answer text <p>Some types of shooting and hunting may qualify for an exemption from the gatherings limit, as certain types of physical activity are allowed in groups larger than six. If someone on a shoot or hunt holds a permit or license, issued by a public body, that is required for the activity or any equipment used in that activity and the organiser of the has undertaken a risk assessment, the activity may be able to go ahead.</p><p> </p><p>There is also an exemption which allows people to participate in fitness-related activities in larger groups. Some types of hunts may therefore be exempt where riders are undertaking equestrian activity related to fitness. Individual hunts will want to take their own advice about whether the rule of six applies to them. For fitness related activity, a business, a charitable organisation, benevolent or philanthropic institution, a public body, or a political body must organise.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 17/09/2020 15:22:43 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2020 answer text <p>We have exempted over thirty types of sport, exercise and physical activity such as football, rugby and other outdoor pursuits from the gatherings limit. Outdoor activity is safer from a transmission perspective, and it is often easier to social distance. Where such activities take place, safety measures must be taken including conducting a risk assessment and compliance with COVID-19 Secure guidance. For fitness related activity, a business, a charitable organisation, benevolent or philanthropic institution, a public body, or a political body must organise. The Secretary of State did not receive any formal representations on the exemptions before they were made.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 17/09/2020 15:26:42 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
