We worked quickly and closely with our policing partners to issue operational guidance to all forces on the new regulations and the powers available to them, to ensure they are used proportionately and consistently. This guidance was issued to forces on the 26th March, and can be found through the link below: https://www.college.police.uk/What-we-do/COVID-19/Documents/What-constitutes-a-reasonable-excuse.pdf

Named day
Named day questions only occur in the House of Commons. The MP tabling the question specifies the date on which they should receive an answer. MPs may not table more than five named day questions on a single day.
