People must stay at home except for valid reasons, including work, education, essential shopping exercise on medical reasons.

People can't mix with other household in homes or in private gardens.

But meeting one person from another household in a public space is allowed.

Pubs and restaurants must close, but they can continue deliveries and takeaways, which in a change of policy, by the way, can now include alcohol.

Non essential shops and hairdressers, gyms and pools was also close on.

There are no exemptions for amateur sport.

While the majority of MPs back the restrictions, the government did face a sizable opposition from its own backbenches.

Our deputy political editor, Vicky Young, has been following this story in Bristol today.

The queuing started early.

Shoppers making the most of the final few hours before lock down were crazy for the past six.

Just to get here maybe more than a month, he's gonna be more than a second of December.

We don't like it, but it's probably sensible.

Another period of strict national measures across England wasn't the plan that Boris Johnson headed to the Commons to tell MPs that once again he was ordering tight restrictions on lives.

Liberties on business.

I've come with all members, feel the pain on anxiety that we're all going to share in the months ahead.

But as prime minister, when I'm confronted with data that projects our NHS could even collapse with deaths in the second way potentially exceeding those of the first, I could reach only one conclusion.

I'm not prepared to take the risk with the lives of the British people.

He assured MPs that the restrictions would be time limited, legally expiring on the second of December.

The labor leader supports this lock down but says it should have happened earlier, as he and many scientists have called for.

There have been huge mistake's made in recent weeks during this pandemic.

We've been told so many times by the prime minister.

Often on Wednesday afternoon there's a plan to prevent a second wave.

It's working when there wasn't and it didn't and now, less than four months after prime minister told us that this would all be over by Christmas, we're being asked to approve emergency regulations to shut the country down on.

Many conservatives aren't convinced the business case against it is overwhelming.

For me, Madam Deputy speaker, the case is not proven.

The measures proposed are not proportionate and I can't vote for him by putting down legislation.

Have people live their lives in their private homes?

That is not a space we should enter easily.

Madam Deputy speaker.

It stinks.

Whatever the problem, collapse in the economy on destroying people's jobs and livelihoods can never be the right solution.

Although the government easily won today's vote, some conservative MPs are already anxious about what might happen in December and beyond.

Thes regulations will disappear, but it's not clear exactly what will replace them on.

Some MPs fear that a return to normality is a very long way off.

Forest Johnson's confident, tighter measures will get virus numbers down on says he's more optimistic than he's been for months.

Businesses forced to close tonight might not share that sentiment.
