"those who need to travel to/from London are fighting to get one of around 450 seats"
I have asked a couple of times who those people might be.
I have been given suggestions rather than factual answers. These included commuting Nurses and Construction workers.
Is it legitimate for these groups to commute by air (without social distancing)? Presumably they have London accommodation and could simply stay there, but there might be considerable hardship not getting home.
Please don't attack me, I realise that these are very strange and difficult times and I have a genuine reason for my question. I have a daughter stuck in London working from her accommodation there, she could not come home to NI earlier as she had to finish a Covid related Government project (working remotely from her London accommodation but required to be close to office, just in case). She could now continue to work from home in NI but can't find out if she's permitted to travel LHR/BHD.
