Questions over dwindling appearances from experts at daily coronavirus briefings

Foreign Secretary Mr Raab was asked today why the weekly appearances at the Government press conferences by scientific and medical experts had reduced by half since the start of June.

He said: “In terms of presence at these press conferences, scientists and the chief and deputy medical officers will continue to come and attend these press conferences.

“I think it is also true to say that as we go down the road map and start to talk about the changes we are making, whether it is to business, schools or other areas, we will also bring other independent experts along and make sure we can answer the full range of questions that people have.”
