Speaking to Sky News on Wednesday (28 April), Shapps laid out – for the first time – further details of the UK government’s plans to restart international travel.
He also said the long-awaited "green list" of destinations for which there will be no return quarantine requirement for travellers would be published "in the next couple of weeks".
A limited resumption of international travel is expected to resume from 17 May, as per the government’s Covid-19 roadmap and the findings of the Global Travel Taskforce – and Shapps said the data was "looking good" for that "from a UK perspective".
