In full: Boris Johnson faces Keir Starmer at PMQs as South Yorkshire goes under Tier 3

Boris Johnson says that "the way forward is for everyone to keep following the guidance, observing the new restrictions but obviously washing hands, wearing a face covering in enclosed spaces and keeping a sensible distance."

With a short, sharp first question, Sir Keir Starmer asks: "How does an area which goes into Tier 3 restrictions get out of those restrictions?"

Mr Johnson replies: "To get the R down to 1 or below, and I'm very pleased to say some areas are already having a considerable effect with the measures that they're taking."

Sir Keir asks if it will be possible for an area to leave Tier 3 before the infection rate has not gone below 1. Mr Johnson says that the R rate is among "a number of measures" and that going into Tier 3 is "the right thing to save lives" for the most affected regions.
