PMQs: Increasing confidence jabs work against Indian variant - PM - BBC News
Boris Johnson faced questions about government travel advice and the Indian variant of coronavirus.
At Prime Minister’s Questions, Labour leader Keir Starmer accused the government of having “lost control of the messaging” over its advice for people on travelling to countries on its “amber list”.

There is lots of advice on the government website about coming back from these countries (which include France, Spain and Italy). This includes taking Covid tests, filling out a passenger locator form and self-isolating at home for 10 days.

On going out, it says simply ‘‘You should not travel to amber list countries or territories’. From Monday, it is no longer illegal to go to these countries though.

But yesterday, Environment Secretary George Eustice said: "There will be reasons why people feel they need to travel [to amber list countries] either to visit family or indeed to visit friends but they then have to observe quarantine when they return."

Later, Boris Johnson said it was “very important people grasp what the amber list is – not somewhere to go on holiday” and said people should only travel to these countries for “pressing family or business reasons”.

Then, Health Minister Lord Bethell said overseas travel was “dangerous”, telling peers “The ultimate sanction here is that…we tell people: travelling is not for this year. Please stay in this country.”
