The cabinet minister Robert Jenrick is facing questions
after travelling to visit his parents at the weekend, despite repeatedly urging
the public to stay at home during the lockdown to curb the spread of
coronavirus.
The Guardian has established that the housing, communities
and local government secretary – who has made media appearances urging people
to save lives by remaining in their properties even if tempted to see loved
ones – went to see his parents at their Shropshire home, 40 miles by road from
his own.
A witness has told the Guardian they saw Jenrick, 38,
visiting the property at the weekend.
A source close to the cabinet minister admitted that he had
made the journey during lockdown conditions, but defended the trip by saying he
dropped off food and medication, and did not enter the house. Jenrick later
confirmed this in a tweet in which he said his parents were both
self-isolating, because of age and his father’s medical condition, and he had
respected social distancing rules.
Government instructions say: “You should not be visiting
family members who do not live in your home.” The only exception is if they
need help, such as having shopping or medication dropped off.
The Guardian understands that the local community has been
supporting Jenrick’s parents by delivering groceries in recent weeks. This was
not denied, though the source said Jenrick had collected and delivered
medication for his parents, too.
