Face coverings, which are no longer required by law, are one possible mitigation employers could adopt if the situation/context warranted it. DCMS fully supports individuals who choose to wear a face covering in the workplace.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/09/2021 10:47:08 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
