Michael Gove – We want to see more people back on the shop floor
It was Michael Gove’s turn to lead the government’s broadcast rounds this morning. Sophy Ridge began by seeking clarification from the Cabinet Office Minister about the government’s message on returning to the workplace:
MG: We want to see more people back at work, on the shop floor, in the office, wherever they can be. Of course, in some cases it’s appropriate and convenient for some people to work from home, but we want to make sure that… the economic engines of this country are fired up again.
Wearing face masks while shopping is ‘good manners’
Andrew Marr asked Gove if wearing face masks should be required while in shops.
