Many mistakes were made in the Department for Education’s (DfE) planning for Covid school closures, former education secretary Sir Gavin Williamson has said.
Sir Gavin told the UK Covid-19 Inquiry on Tuesday: “I readily accept that there were many mistakes that were made, both pre-pandemic and in those early stages of the pandemic.”
