Grant Shapps: We ask people not to go on holiday to amber list countries
Asked if it was “irresponsible” to go on holiday to an amber list country, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said: “We ask people not to… that is the situation.“If you do go away to an amber country – for whatever reason – you end up having to take a vast series of tests: pre-departure tests before you can return, one on day two, one on day eight, if you wanted to release early one on day five as well, there’s a lot of cost involved in that,” he told the BBC.
Defence secretary Grant Shapps says that Jens Stoltenberg, the secretary general of NATO, is delighted with the UK's commitment to spending 2.5% of GDP on defence by 2030.
