Public Services: Update

Proceeding contribution from Lord True (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 29 April 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Services: Update.

My Lords, I share that aspiration and I know that the Government do, but the need to protect the safety of the public and to save lives is still paramount;

the five tests have not yet been met. But I repeat what I said in an earlier answer: that aspiration is clearly understood, and the Government have invested heavily in trying to support distance learning. That is a great thing, as I am sure a virtual Parliament is, but a virtual Parliament is no substitute for the real thing, and I hope that in due time virtual learning will be taken over by a return to a more normal life. But I am afraid that the time is not now.
