A large number of Conservative MPs could still vote against a tiered system of coronavirus restrictions for England next week, a leading backbencher has warned, as Boris Johnson prepared to unveil the new post-lockdown regime for the country.
Steve Baker, the deputy chair of the Covid Recovery Group, which sent a letter on behalf of 70 Tory MPs warning the prime minister that any new measures must be justified, said he was “reassured” at news that shops, gyms and places of worship would remain open in all the new three tiers.
