The House of Commons’ transport committee last month called on the government to publish the long-awaited "green", "amber" and "red" lists by 1 May at the very latest to give the travel industry and consumers at least some chance to prepare for the restart.


Chair Huw Merriman MP said it was "incredible" just two weeks before the proposed resumption of international travel on 17 May that passengers and the industry were "still in the dark" about which countries they can travel and operate to, and the requirements to do so".
