I didn't intend to speak, because I'm certainly happy to support this regulation, but I want to respond to the comment made by the health spokesperson of the Conservatives. I think it is completely sensible to use legislation in this restricted way. We see around us, even in this Chamber, how the use of face masks is changing and developing and is organic, and people make decisions about wearing face coverings depending on the situation around them. But when we're talking about health and care settings, where the most vulnerable people are, and where they have to go, it makes perfect sense to me that we use this means for the next period of time and for the very clear reason, to me, and therefore we are happy to approve this regulation.
