Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans his Department has to ensure that young people maintain access to free period products whilst schools are shut as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.
The department introduced the Period Products Scheme to ensure that everyone has access to period products when they need them at school or college.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, schools and colleges will be able to order products through the established route and distribute them to learners who need them.
