Text of Petition:                     

In order to safeguard the mental and emotional well-being of the population, during lockdown, allow single-parents and those who live alone to form a support bubble with another household, and for couples who live apart to visit each other's homes as is permitted in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Status

This petition was considered completed by the Petitions Committee at its meeting on 12/01/2021.

The Committee considered the current rules on forming support bubbles. Members noted that, in alert levels 3 and 4, these permit single adult households to join with another household but that this would not enable couples to be able to enter each other’s homes in all circumstances. However, given the situation the Committee agreed that there was no further work it could undertake on this issue at this time and closed the petition.
