Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:10 pm on 20 October 2020.
I thank Darren Millar for raising this issue, and Darren Millar will know that I appreciate just as well as he does the importance of churches and other places of worship in terms of supporting people's mental health, as well as their ability to access parts of their community as well during this difficult period.
We do have a statement on the firebreak this afternoon, which is an opportunity for Darren to set out his concerns further, but I will say that the evidence has been published. You'll have seen the evidence published by the Government that was received from the TAC group, for example, and this sets out the importance of minimising the contacts that we have. We can't look to every single type of setting, because we're looking at people's contacts in the round and trying to minimise the number of contacts that we have. But I do appreciate the difficulties that it will cause people, but, as I say, there is a statement on the firebreak more widely that will be an opportunity to explore it in more depth this afternoon.
