Lord Snape stood in on Wednesday morning (15 June) for child abuse and protection barrister, professor Jo Delahunty, who was unable to attend the conference after coming down with Covid-19.
Bringing a unique insight into the corridors of power, Lord Snape urged the government to listen more closely to the voice of the travel industry – aiming a barb at transport secretary Grant Shapps.
He told the conference how the government’s Global Travel Taskforce, which was fronted by Shapps, became known as the "invisible man". "I would like to know from people how much contact they had," he said.
