Transport secretary Grant Shapps has blasted his own government’s international travel regime, branding passenger locator forms "ridiculously complicated".

Shapps was transport secretary under Boris Johnson

Speaking to Sky News on Tuesday morning (25 January), Shapps said the government was planning to simplify the documents in a bid to make travel easier.

It comes after prime minister Boris Johnson confirmed Day 2 tests for fully vaccinated travellers returning to the country will be scrapped from 4am on 11 February. Shapps said the move has been a "long time coming".
