PM says pubs, hairdressers, shops and gyms can open next week but resumption of foreign travel next month remains in doubt

Announcing it was safe to proceed to the next phase of his roadmap out of lockdown, the prime minister signalled the coronavirus vaccine rollout was progressing as planned and infection rates were low enough to ease more restrictions from 12 April.
