What about schools and social distancing?

Questioned by BBC education editor Branwen Jeffreys, Gavin Willamson says it's "vital" to get children back to school. Coronavirus infection levels are decreasing and this is "incredibly positive", but protective measures will need to stay in place to ensure safety in schools.

On social distancing, he adds that the review under way on the two-metre rule will be done quickly, but he can't give an "exact date" for any changes.

"We've got to get Britain working again," Mr Williamson says.
