Question to the Home Office:
To ask the hon. Member for Perth and North Perthshire, representing the House of Commons Commission, what steps the Commission is taking to ensure that social distancing is observed between visitors at entry points to the parliamentary estate.
A range of measures have been introduced at access points across the estate to support social distancing. These include the use of managed queues, booking systems, signage and the use of face coverings where it is harder to maintain social distancing e.g. during search functions.
Access to the estate has been restricted to essential business visitors only, which ensures a minimal number of visitors.
