As reported in Conference & Meeting World, The UK Prime minister Boris Johnson has said that business events will be allowed to continue in Tier 1 and Tier 2 areas when the UK emerges from national lockdown on 2 December.
Addressing inconsistencies, which to date has seen business events restricted to 30 while theatre performances have been able to far exceed such a cap, the prime minister said that change was on the way.
Speaking to the House of Commons via videolink, 23 November, the prime minister said: “In Tiers one and two, spectator sports and business events will be able to resume indoors and outside with capacity limits and social distancing, providing more consistency with performances in theatres and concert halls.”
