Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Transport Secretary's statement on coronavirus (COVID), published on 4 June 2020 on gov.uk, whether the exemption from wearing a face mask on public transport for people with breathing difficulties applies to people with asthma.

We expect everyone to wear a face covering if they can, but recognise reasonable adjustments are necessary for some people. Exemptions will apply to those with breathing difficulties and other respiratory conditions including asthma, as well as other groups.
