Hancock was pressed on government mixed messaging on holidays in recent days during a Sky News interview on Thursday morning (11 February).


It comes after transport secretary Grant Shapps on Wednesday (10 February) intimated holidays would be unlikely until a greater proportion of the population is vaccinated against Covid-19.


Shapps also said other countries would also have to make progress on their vaccination programmes before international travel would likely be able to resume.
