Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Sir Stephen Lovegrove's Covid-19 guidance to arms companies dated 27 March 2020, which defence contractors qualify as key workers.

The Covid-19 guidance provided by the Permanent Secretary for Defence on 27 March drew contractors attention to the Government advice that some Defence contractors, who are unable to work from home, may qualify as key workers and encouraged contractors to engage with the Ministry of Defence.
