In the Budget speech on 3 March, the Chancellor announced that 8 Freeports would be created in 8 regions of England, as selected by the Secretary of State for the Ministry for Housing, Communities & Local Government. Subject to agreeing the governance arrangements and successfully completing the business cases, these Freeports will begin operations from late 2021. The introduction of Freeports in late 2021 will not have an impact on GSFC routes as the current GSFC contracts run until 30 June 2021.<\/p>

The Department for Education\u2019s \u2018Schools coronavirus (COVID-19) operational guidance\u2019, sets out the educational settings in which face coverings should be worn. Their guidance states that transparent face coverings may also be worn as an alternative to cloth face coverings.<\/p>

The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) and Public Health England (PHE) regularly monitor and review the international evidence on the effectiveness of face coverings. Their most recent consideration of the science around face coverings was concluded in January. Copies of the rapid reviews undertaken by PHE \u2018Face coverings in the community and COVID-19: a rapid review\u2019 and \u2018Face coverings in the community and COVID-19 A rapid review (update 1)\u2019 are attached. Both reviews contain references to the scientific literature as part of the study.<\/p>

Although the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control suggest that transparent face coverings would be expected to work similarly to other non-medical face coverings if properly fitted, there is currently limited evidence regarding their effectiveness or safety but along with other measures such as social distancing and good hand hygiene, they may help reduce the spread of COVID-19. There is a stronger evidence base for the use of fabric face coverings in reducing the respiratory particles emitted from the mouth and nose of someone who is infected. SAGE has advised that using a cloth face covering is an important mitigation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4380", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jo Churchill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury St Edmunds"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jo Churchill"} , "attachment" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1300775/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "PHECOVID19EvidenceReviewFaceCoverings.pdf"} , "title" : "Face coverings in the community and COVID-19"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1300775/answer/attachment/2", "fileName" : {"_value" : "ER-031 Face coverings Rapid Review Update1 2021 01 28.pdf"} , "title" : "Face coverings in the community: update 1"} ], "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-04-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "165583"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-04-14T11:11:44.403Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-03-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Coronavirus: Schools"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to his Departments operational guidance Schools coronavirus (COVID-19) dated February 2021, who undertook the research or evidence gathering regarding the effectiveness or safety of transparent face coverings; and whether that research or evidence gathering was specific to educational settings.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4418", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Madders"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ellesmere Port and Neston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Justin Madders"} ], "uin" : "165582"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1300776", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1300776/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK is preserving the effect of the EU's adequacy decision for Japan on a transitional basis because robust protections are in place for the international transfer of personal data. The UK-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) does not change this position in relation to onward transfers of UK personal data from Japan.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

The CEPA article on cross-border flows (8.84.2) states that exceptions to the flow of data can be made to achieve \u201clegitimate public policy objectives\u201d. This means that if justified, either party could take action to restrict data flows.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

CEPA addresses data flows between the UK and Japan and not onward transfers to other jurisdictions.<\/p>
