Full question wording

The UK left the EU on 31 January 2020 but current rules on trade, travel, and business for the UK and EU will continue to apply during a transition period currently due to end on 31 December 2020. If there is not a UK/EU trade deal or an extension to the transition period, the UK will trade on World Trade Organisation terms from 31 December 2020 effectively in a ‘no deal’ Brexit. This could lead to a delay in the supply of certain products, including the supply of medicine and medical products. Should the Government request an extension to the Brexit transition period because of the Coronavirus outbreak or should the transition period end on 31 December 2020?
