Speaking in parliament on Monday (20 September), Grant Shapps said that 18 months on from the start of the pandemic, “we are now in a world where we know that vaccinations make a very big and sustained difference and I hope we move away from a world in which instant changes are required”.
He added: “I cannot absolutely guarantee that, but I think we can see by the direction of movement that things are coming on to a more sustainable footing.”
Shapps said the Department of Health and Social Care (DoH) would set out more details on testing requirements.
