Michael Fabricant has said sorry after suggesting teachers and nurses had a 'quiet drink' in staff rooms during lockdown.
The Tory MP said it was not his intention to "cause offence" or to "demoralise" and "I apologise if I have genuinely done so" in a letter published on the NAHT schools leaders' union website.
He came under fire after claiming teachers and NHS staff broke the law like Boris Johnson by having "a quiet drink" at the end of their shifts when it was illegal. Critics said the claim was a 'slur'.
