Transport Select Committee member Ben Bradshaw has called on the government to provide full access to the "various and quite secretive" committees it used to impose travel restrictions throughout the pandemic as part of a public inquiry into Covid-19. 

Labour MP Ben Bradshaw, who also sits on the transport select committee, will stand down from his role at the next election

The Labour MP, who also welcomed the government’s move to lift all remaining travel restrictions, described curbs implemented throughout the past two years as "draconian". 

"I’m delighted that England is following Norway, Ireland, Hungary and several other countries in lifting all remaining travel restrictions," Bradshaw told the House of Commons.
