Robert Buckland 'does not know' if schools will reopen on 1 June

The vast majority of workers are worried about returning to their job due to fears doing so could put their family at risk from coronavirus, a study has found.

A survey of 3,500 workers by the GMB union found four in five respondents raised such concerns about going back to work when lockdown measures are eased.

It came as a separate survey showed an overwhelming majority of support staff in schools had concerns about safety in their workplace during the Covid-19 pandemic.
