The UK’s Health Secretary, Matt Hancock, has hinted that the current ban on public worship would be reviewed.

On Wednesday, the House of Commons approved a new four week lockdown for England.

Numerous MPs voiced opposition to the banning of public mass and religious services.

Former Prime Minister, Teresa May said it set a dangerous precedent which could be misused by a future Government.

At the end of the debate, the Health Secretary offered hope that the blanket ban might be eased.

“I can tell the House that Ministers are talking to faith leaders to do everything we can to reach an accommodation as soon as possible,” he said. “I understand the impact of this infringement on liberties.”
