'Bespoke conversations' possible for aviation industry

Shapps is asked about the impact of quarantine measures on the

airline industry whether the government is still open to negotiation
on any quarantine arrangement for people arriving in the UK.

In response he says the chancellor has already made a number of

packages available for businesses including furlough schemes and
loans.

However, if that doesn't work he says "bespoke conversations"

with industries are possible and "that is happening in a number of
different aviation cases".

BBC political correspondent Ben Wright asks Transport Secretary

Grant Shapps about the reports of a policy requiring arrivals into
the UK to quarantine for 14 days.

Wright asks why such a policy has been decided now and about
the potential damage it could do to the already suffering airline
industry.

Responding to the question, Shapps says details will be clarified

by the prime minister tomorrow but says it makes sense to look at
arrivals at the border as things get under control, with increased
testing and lower infection rates inside the country.

He also points out that the government previously had a self-

isolation policy in place from arrivals from high-risk areas before
lockdown began.

Tammy from Bristol asks in a written question how the

government plans to implement social distancing rules in
education settings - pointing out that children of primary school
age and younger will find it hard to keep to the rules.

Prof Van-Tam said: "So the point that Tammy is making is that
young children do find it difficult to keep rules, any kind of
touching or distancing rules, and that's an accepted fact.
"We've all encountered young children and we completely
understand that. What I can say is that whatever the prime
minister announces that we will do next, it is going to be
extremely cautious and extremely careful and extremely
painstaking.

"And it has to take into account the kind of factors that have been
mentioned in the question, and indeed that advice and that policy
will do that. But it's caution all the way really."

Shapps adds: "Extreme caution is actually the watchword on this.

And we've seen in other countries where second, not quite spikes
have come along, but where social distancing has been relaxed
and there's been problems, so we will wait to see."
