answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/08/2020 answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that its highest priority in managing this national crisis is protecting the public and the National Health Service. On 15 June, the Government website published clear guidance on passengers wearing mandatory face coverings when travelling on public transport in England. The advice details the evidential basis for requiring passengers to wear face masks on transport, and broadly states that there is strong evidence suggesting that social distancing, hand hygiene and isolation measures offer the best protection from the spread of the disease.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>From Friday 24 July, members of the public must wear a face covering when visiting a shop or supermarket. Guidance on this was published on 14 July.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 05/08/2020 12:04:22 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 33010 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

Where care leavers, children with a social worker at secondary school and disadvantaged children in Year 10 do not have internet connections, we are providing 4G wireless routers.</p><p>Local authorities and academy trusts are best placed to identify and distribute the laptops and tablets to children and young people who need devices. In May, the Department invited local authorities to order devices for the most vulnerable children first - children with a social worker and care leavers.</p><p>Earlier this month, the Department started inviting academy trusts and local authorities to order their devices for disadvantaged year 10 pupils.</p><p>For those in rural areas or without a connection, schools will be able to draw on support from the BBC, which is broadcasting lessons on television via the red button, and may choose to draw on the many resources offers which have been made by publishers across the country. The Department’s remote education guidance includes examples of how schools can support pupils without internet access by, for example, providing physical work packs.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 63225 question first answered 29/06/2020 15:37:10 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
