BAN OF SCHOOL MUSIC

Tuesday, 13 October 2020

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton):

The Government has banned choirs and woodwind and brass instruments in schools. As the President of the Association of Directors of Music in Independent Schools, Elizabeth Furman, has written to the Premier:

Medical research investigating music and COVID-19 indicates that musical activities can be continued in a safe manner.

This Government keeps turning its back on young people.
