Face coverings are not a replacement for social distancing and regular handwashing which remain the most important actions. As hon. Members can maintain social distancing and have easy access to handwashing facilities or hand sanitiser, it was concluded that face coverings were not necessary.</p><p>A review of this decision was carried out on 3 June and concluded that the advice did not need to be updated in line with current government guidance.</p><p>Although not considered necessary it is an MP’s choice if they do want to wear a face covering on the Parliamentary estate.</p> answering member constituency Perth and North Perthshire answering member printed Pete Wishart question first answered 04/06/2020 18:57:30 answering member 1440 label Biography information for Pete Wishart
