Rejected petition Use a framework of testing to enable weddings without the Step 3 restrictions.
From 21st June, utilise a framework of morning lateral flow tests and the NHS test and trace scheme to enable weddings to proceed without the Step 3 restrictions. Among other things, this includes removing the:
- requirement for table service only
- the ban on singing/dancing
More details
This would be a low risk next step in opening up the wedding industry and reflect the example shown by the government at the recent G7 conference.
