On the first point , we understand the desire for all the detail asap but you will understand that we would not want give you false info and the final detail is being worked up - we will provide asap.

On the second point , All accommodation is closed but accommodation which is closed can continue to provide accommodation for anybody who is living there as their main residence as of 6pm on Friday 23 October, or is staying there at that time and is unable to return to their main residence. Accommodation businesses should ensure they do not unintentionally make anyone homelessness as a result of closure, for advice contact the local authority housing options team.

Local Authorities, or Welsh Ministers, can also authorise or make a request for accommodation businesses to provide some other services whilst closed. Requests could for example include accommodating key workers, people who have been displaced or are homeless, or medical patients.

Rob,

Can you please clarify whether Hotels, Guesthouses and Self Catering establishments are considered to have been closed by the severe restrictions placed on Counties prior to the National Lockdown.

Can you also clarify whether businesses are required to seek a certification/License from Local Authorities to accommodate essential workers during the 2 weeks from 6pm Friday 23.10.20 to Monday 9.11.20.

Thanks
