With Covid cases plummeting in Kirklees (a month ago we had the 5th highest rate in the country, now we’re 68th) Jason asked the Secretary of State to confirm the latest granular local data will be used on Wednesday to decide if our area can come out of tier 3.
Jason McCartney MP
My Colne Valley constituents now follow the local data really closely, and they can see that covid rates are thankfully plummeting in Kirklees, thanks to the local action we have been taking.
Can the Secretary of State confirm that he will be using this local data at a granular level later this week to decide whether my area can come out of tier 3 restrictions?
Matt Hancock
Yes.
