Regulation 6 - the prohibition on leaving or staying out of your house reasonable excuse - no longer applies from tomorrow

Replaced with:

"No person may, without reasonable excuse, stay overnight at any place other
than the place where they are living"

So overnight *only* https://twitter.com/DSmith76900749/status/1267094818603380736
Essentially, the restriction on leaving your place of living without reasonable excuse is now reduced to a mere sleepover ban
So the widest criminal prohibition ever in peacetime has been lifted, without any public statement or specific explanation, by a Sunday afternoon update to the legislation website
Strongly suspect the law on restricting movement is now practically unenforceable

It is now also barely comprehensible, after so many elaborate amendments

A sorry mess of a law https://twitter.com/daveih/status/1267101944503549954
Regulation 7 is a corker - prohibits two or more people from separate households from any interaction on the same property

One of the exceptions is work

So a visit from a sex worker is lawful but not from your partner if they live elsewhere
Daft
