	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2020 answer text <p>The Government recognises the ongoing importance of telecommunications at this critical time.</p><p>Whilst the industry has continued to offer consumers support online and over the phone, we also appreciate the role that mobile phone retail outlets play in ensuring that everyone in society remains connected. Tougher national restrictions are necessary to help get the virus under control and to protect the NHS. The current set of restrictions strike the right balance between containing the virus and protecting society whilst allowing limited parts of essential retail to remain open. We are keeping this under constant review. The Government will continue to work closely with the sector to ensure consumers and businesses continue to receive the support they need.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 23/11/2020 17:29:03 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman
