Travel’s hopes of a mid-May restart have taken another blow, with the government set to strengthen legislative provisions to keep Brits at home until the start of July.
The Times reports new draft laws will give the government scope to extend its ban on overseas travel without "reasonable excuse" until 30 June, backed by £5,000 fines. Overseas leisure travel will remain banned from Monday (29 March), when the government’s "stay at home" rule is lifted.
MPs are expected to vote on the proposals on Thursday (25 March) ahead of them coming into effect on Monday.
