Will more countries be added to the green list in three weeks?
The transport secretary สมัครสล็อต says he does not yet know what the summer holds in terms of foreign travel.
Grant Shapps says: "We have done wonders with our vaccination programme and the rest of the world will catch up - Europe is probably 10 weeks behind but they will catch up.
"I don't know exactly what that will mean in terms of the summer but the decisive action today is designed to protect the future to make sure we can do a domestic unlock."
He says we need to check that UK vaccines work against all kinds of mutations.
When asked if more countries will be added to the green list when it is reviewed again in three weeks time he says: "We will always act the moment we have information which is relevant."
But he says the news of a mutation of the so-called Indian variant in Portugal came as part of the regular three-week review process.
He says: "We would expect in the ordinary course of events for there to be now a three-week period. Obviously... if something dramatic comes up, we would of course need to make changes elsewhere. And we have to reserve the right to do that to protect the population at home."
