'I don't see why he shouldn't be able to do prime minister's questions from Chequers.' Labour's Harriet Harman suggests that if the PM is 'well enough' to speak to the US President and instruct the government, he could answer MPs questions remotely.

And, in Wales, another 15 people died in hospitals with COVID-19, bringing the total to 624.
