This is against the law and the police will have the powers to enforce these legal limits, including to issue fines (fixed penalty notices) of £100, doubling for further breaches up to a maximum of £3,200.</p><p>In England, a support bubble is a close support network between a household of any size and a single adult household. Support bubbles are to assist the loneliest and most isolated in society. It is to provide extra support to some of those most impacted by the most difficult effects of the current social restrictions, while ensuring we continue to keep the rate of transmission low.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries question first answered 18/09/2020 12:29:43 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries previous answer version 47759 answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries
