Health secretary says green list unlikely to expand while one Tory MP questions point of amber list
Ministers and scientists have in effect warned Britons not to place much hope in the idea of an overseas holiday this year, saying travel to almost all countries remains off-limits and hinting that the “green list” of permitted destinations is unlikely to grow quickly.
The robust stance is likely to anger Conservative backbenchers who are warning of dire consequences for the travel and aviation industries without change. One MP called the status of amber list countries “ludicrous”.
