requested information in the following terms:
“Please send me copies of all Covid risk assessments to keep staff safe
and prevent the transmission of Covid that were carried out for 10
Downing Street at any point during 2020. Please include any actions
that were agreed, including any limitations on room numbers, social
distancing requirements etc. To be clear, I am interested in the areas
in which work was carried out, rather than the residential areas.”
