The prime minister discussed the incoming 14-day quarantine measures - set to come into force on 8 June - during a liaison committee hearing on Wednesday (27 May).

Johnson said the quarantine rules would be reviewed every three weeks, insisting he wanted "as sensible a quarantine scheme as possible" to "keep flows [of arrivals] as generous as we can".
