Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to include bookshops on the lists of businesses permitted to remain open in all areas subject to restrictions to address the COVID-19 pandemic should tiers of restrictions be reintroduced from 2 December.

The current restrictions will expire on 2 December, and our intention is to return to?a system of?local and regional restrictions.?We will set out what this means for retailers and other businesses as soon as possible.
