	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2020 answer text <p>As of 14 September non-professional performing arts activity, including choirs, orchestras or drama groups can continue to rehearse or perform together where this is planned activity in line with the performing arts guidance and if they can do so in a way that ensures that there is no interaction between groups of more than six at any time. If an amateur group is not able to ensure that no mingling takes place between these sub-groups of no more than six (including when arriving at or leaving activity or in any breaks or socialising) then such non-professional activity should not take place.</p><p>We will continue to work with the Performing Arts sector to understand how the new regulations affect those engaging in activity. We have always been clear that the easing of restrictions depends on the prevalence of COVID-19.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 24/09/2020 13:13:16 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
