"If you're out in the park and you're 2m apart... and use some common sense and you socially-distance, you can meet up with other people."
Asked if someone could meet more than two people at different times, for example their mother in the morning and father in the afternoon, Mr Raab said: "Outside in the outdoors, staying 2m apart, yes."
And asked on BBC Radio 4's Today programme whether someone could meet two parents at the same time, Mr Raab said: "You could if there's 2m apart".
Mr Raab was also pressed on whether people could meet others in a garden or driveway. "We are not moving to a stage where we say that households can mix inside the home," he said.
"So just to be absolutely clear, people cannot mix within the homes… and that advice is not changing."

And how many are going to take that as meaning 'OK to meet in the garden, after all it's no different to meeting in the park as long as you stay 2m away'.
Absolutely clear? I don't think so.
