Proceeding contribution from Lord Cormack (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 23 February 2021. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Covid-19: Road Map.


Covid-19: Road Map

My Lords, during the lockdown last autumn, large churches and cathedrals were able to have services with a choir, suitably distanced of course. Spiritual health is very important. We are approaching the most significant week in the Christian year, Holy Week. In Lincoln, where I live, we have a great and glorious cathedral, we can have services and we can have a choir, but we cannot have them together. It is ludicrous. Can the Minister have this one looked into? It would be very sad indeed if during Holy Week we could have either a congregation or a choir, but not both together.
