A spokesperson said: "One of Keir’s children tested positive for Covid this lunchtime. In line with the rules, Keir and his family will now be self-isolating.

"Keir was already doing daily tests and tested negative this morning. He will continue to take daily tests."

Sir Keir left the chamber when PMQs finished around 1pm, and within 90 minutes his spokesperson released the statement that he was self-isolating.
