UK Coronavirus Live: Boris Johnson Denies People Are Confused About Local Shutdown Rules | Politics

Jerome mayhew (With) question about the A47 in Norfolk. But plans to update it have been postponed. Why?

Johnson says the government is intensely ambitious for transportation infrastructure. That project will be reconsidered, he says. The government is analyzing projects starting in 2025.

And that is. PMQ is over.

Nav Mishra (Lab) asks if the eviction ban will be reinstated to avoid a housing crisis this winter.

Johnson It says that owners have to give at least six months’ notice. So there will be no evictions during Christmas, he says. And the government is embarking on a great program to build more homes.

Neil coyle (Lab) asks if the councils for all the homeless they helped will be funded.

Johnson says the way the homeless were housed was one of the “consolations” of the crisis. The government will continue to do what it can, he says.

Laurence Robertson (Con) asks if the ED will return to Cheltenham Hospital.

Johnson he says he has been told this closure is only temporary.

Mick whitley (Lab) says the government has decided to write off 1 million jobs as unviable. Why?

Johnson says it is a misrepresentation of what the government is doing. It will continue to support jobs. But the most important thing is to get people to work.

Darren henry (Con) asks what the PM will do to support the Midlands engine.

Johnson says he’s happy to support this.

Janet daby (Lab) asks what the government will do to protect jobs in the hotel sector. Why does the prime minister think these jobs are not worth saving?

Johnson He says the government is doing what it can to support all jobs in the country. But it cannot save all jobs. There is a lifetime skills guarantee that allows people to retrain, he says.

David simmonds (Con) asks what will be done to expand the Syrian refugee settlement plan.

Johnson says the UK can be proud of what has been done to resettle refugees. It will continue to fulfill its obligations to those fleeing persecution and war, he says.

Debbie Abrahams (Lab) asks what the prime minister’s biggest Covid mistake has been.

Johnson says he’s grateful for the question. There will be plenty of time to review the decisions made, for which he takes responsibility. He says the increase in cases in Bolton is concerning. Urge Abrahams to get Labor to support the government.

Harriet baldwin (Con) asks if the PM will change some of the elements of the algorithm used to allocate housing according to the planning bill.

Johnson He says he wants to see more houses built, in a way that avoids desecrating the green belt.

Tommy sheppard (SNP) asks if the prime minister would consider a conservative victory in next year’s Scottish elections as a mandate for the union.

Johnson says Scots voted on this in 2014. It was a vote for a generation. We should get on with that, he says.

Johnson says conservatives are excited about the clean, green future. He is pleased that this is a pioneer in Tees Valley.

Munira wilson (Lib Dem) says the Coronavirus Act has weakened protections for the disabled.

(This is why the Liberal Democrats are voting against it. See 11:56 am).

Johnson says the government will provide disabled people with the protection they need.

Johnson says he fully supports HS2’s ambition. But he has been assured that affected communities are being consulted.

Liz Saville Roberts, the leader of Plaid Cymru in Westminster, asks if the prime minister will stop leisure travel from closed areas.

Johnson he said that, in general, the UK was proceeding with the same approach.

There are some differences and some “seemingly illogical”. That is unavoidable. But he’s grateful for the cooperation Saville Roberts is providing.

(That didn’t address the question at all.)

Ben spencer (Con) says there was less traffic noise during the closure. What can be done to reduce noise and pollution from the M25?

Johnson says the government wants to see more electric cars on the road.

Ian Blackford, the SNP leader in Westminster says that only 15% of Scots trust the Westminster government to operate for the benefit of Scotland. Why does the prime minister think this is so?

Johnson says the internal market bill will benefit Scotland. Return power to Scotland, he says. It allows Scotland to regain control of its fisheries. Today is a historic day, he says. The government has succeeded in lifting the ban on the sale of British beef to the United States. That also covers Scottish meat.

Blackford Johnson says he didn’t answer the question. The PM is “barking, muttering, awkwardly”, but does not answer the question. A conservative government that arrogantly violates international law has shattered trust in the government. If the bill does not get the consent of the Scottish and Welsh parliaments, will it withdraw it?

Johnson says Blackford is only trying to “foment grievance where it shouldn’t exist.”
