Jenrick criticised for visiting parents during lockdown

The communities secretary is facing criticism after he visited his parents during the lockdown.

Robert Jenrick was one of the members of the cabinet deployed to urge the public not to travel.

He was seen in his parents front garden last weekend, more than an hour’s drive from his home in Herefordshire where he had been doing TV interviews. A source close to the communities secretary said he was delivering food and medical supplies.

The Friday before Jenrick went to see his parents, he tweeted: “If you are considering going out this weekend, please don’t.”
