Proceeding contribution from Baroness Evans of Bowes Park (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

I think that I have said everything I can say on the support payment by explaining where we have extended eligibility. On the noble Lord’s question about occupational risk, as I said in response to the noble Baroness, it is not the only factor driving increased infection and mortality in certain groups. The evidence shows that a range of socioeconomic and geographical factors, such as occupational exposure, population density, household composition and pre-existing health conditions, contribute to the higher infection and mortality rates for some groups. In making decisions on phase 2 of the rollout, we will balance these factors alongside occupational risk.
