Boris Johnson announces face coverings are to be mandatory in shops from 24 July with £100 fines for non-compliance
The Metropolitan Police Federation has warned that requiring the public to wear face masks in shops will be almost impossible for police to enforce.
Its chairman Ken Marsh, told Today:
Shopkeepers need to step up to the plate and take some responsibility. They can quite easily put signs up on their doors ‘No mask on, no entry, this is private property’.
That’s the first point we need to get across because this cannot all be laid on the shoulders of the police yet again.
Chairman Ken Marsh tells @BBCr4today on Government’s facemask plan. “This cant all be laid on the shoulders of police yet again. It’s nigh on unenforceable. We can’t have an officer on every shop door. We can’t drive around looking for people not wearing masks. Would be absurd.” pic.twitter.com/I3fWcjT4qm
Politico’s Charlie Cooper wonders whether Matt Hancock will mask up when he announces the mandatory face coverings measures in the Commons this afternoon.
An aide says only that he will “as always, be following the guidance.” Currently that guidance says: “If you can, you should also wear a face covering in … enclosed public spaces where social distancing isn’t possible and where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet.”
Does the House of Commons chamber fit that description?
