Crikey. Under questions from journalist about definitions of cafes and restaurants, and who can stay open, Nicola Sturgeon says that "if cafes are finding this difficult then the only alternative we will have is to say anybody with a licence should close"
Nicola Sturgeon:“If a premise is in doubt,they should close until an environmental health officer tells them they think they fall within the definition. Now, if cafes are finding this difficult, then the only alternative we will have is to say anybody with a licence should close"
Sturgeon: “If there is a lack of clarity, it has come from us trying to be more flexible. And that's, I think, the right thing to do. But that doesn't mean we can give a blanket go-ahead to all classes of restaurants to stay open. "
Sturgeon: “Because if you do that then what we will find is that we don't have the effect from these restrictions that we must have. And that, I’m afraid, is the bottom line."
