Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister of the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of recognising people who work in the cleaning and hygiene sector as key workers.

While a list of key workers was used previously in the Covid-19 response, the Cabinet Office does not keep a current list of key workers.

When responding to any future emergency, the Government will continue to consider, on a case by case basis, the merits of renewing key worker designation, and its scope.
