QUESTION Time will once again have no studio audience as broadcasters adjust to the coronavirus lockdown.

Included on the four-person panel is…
- Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who earlier tonight stepped in for Boris Johnson at the daily coronavirus briefing.
- Labour MP Yvette Cooper, chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee.
- Trade unionist and chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing, Donna Kinnair
- And Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, who fled Uganda for the UK in 1974 after criticising Idi Amin.
On Question Time tonight at 8pm are @MattHancock, @YvetteCooperMP, Donna Kinnair and @JohnSentamu.

Scotland is in lockdown. Shops are closing and newspaper sales are falling fast. It’s no exaggeration to say that the future of The National is at stake. Please consider supporting us through this with a digital subscription from just £2 for 2 months by following this link: http://www.thenational.scot/subscribe. Thanks – and stay safe.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
