The Chairs of the Administration Committee and the Procedure Committee of the House of Commons have issued a statement announcing temporary measures attempting to guarantee the continuation of the House during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The measures will be subject to “regular review”, and are to be made in line with developing public health guidance and official advice on social distancing and self-isolation.
The statement ends on a note of humility, indicating that this experience may show areas in which procedures and services to MPs and the public can be improved when we return to normal life.
