Now received confirmation from our social policy group:

START

Thank you to everyone who took the time to help with this.

The major supermarkets are to prioritise disabled people and those over 70 for online shopping They are doing this by combing the information that they hold about their customers and information held by the Government. For now, you don't need to do anything; they will contact you. It's inevitable that some people will be missed, so please wait until people have been contacted and wait for further information as to what to do.

In addition, the Government intends to give out food parcels to vulnerable people who find themselves unable to obtain food.

Stay safe everybody and feel free to share this to reassure people.
