The G7 has agreed seven principles for an "aligned" resumption of international travel, with transport secretary Grant Shapps vowing to "get people travelling abroad as freely and safely as possible".

Shapps was transport secretary under Boris Johnson

It comes after Shapps chaired a meeting of G7 transport and health chiefs on Thursday (30 September) to agree a route out of the Covid crisis for the travel industry and to ensure a "long-lasting recovery for the international travel sector".


“We are determined to get people travelling abroad as freely and safely as possible and the progress made today between all G7 nations is testament to this vision," said Shapps.
