Pub group JD Wetherspoon said it would reopen pubs in England on 4 July 2020, in line with the government's guidance.

The bulk of its staff, around 35,616 intended to return to work, the company said, citing a survey carried out on 18 June.

The company said it did not currently intend to start any new pub development projects in the next 12 months, but added that a small number of projects that were 'on site' when pubs closed would be completed in due course.

The full-year results were now due to be announced on 9 October 2020, the company said.
