Reserve home deliveries from major supermarkets for vulnerable groups.

Require supermarkets to ask people to confirm that they are in a vulnerable group in the same way people have to confirm they are over 18. Put out public messages saying that people should only use delivery and click and collect if they are in a vulnerable group.

The arrangements for online supermarket services are a matter for individual retailers, not the Government or Parliament. A number of retailers have announced plans to prioritise elderly or vulnerable customers. You should contact your preferred supermarket to find out if they have put such arrangements in place.

The Government has made certain changes to enable supermarkets to work together during the coronavirus outbreak, particularly to serve customers who are elderly, ill or vulnerable: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/supermarkets-to-join-forces-to-feed-the-nation
