The UK government has taken a £400 million [$500 million] stake in bankrupt satellite firm OneWeb as it plans to replace the EU Galileo sat-nav system when the UK’s membership of it ends in January 2021.
The government has published a list of countries which will be exempt from the UK Covid-19 quarantine law from July 10, with travellers from France, Spain, Germany and Italy among others no longer required to go into self-isolation on arrival.
Conservative MP and former transport minister Theresa Villiers has taken aim at the Covid-19 quarantine law for new arrivals in the UK, saying it has not been worth the damage caused to the travel industry.
Speaking in the House of Commons on Wednesday, home secretary Priti Patel laid out the government’s plans for a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all new arrivals in the UK.
Numerous travel companies and hotel chiefs have written to home secretary Priti Patel urging the government to abandon its plans for a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all new arrivals in the UK.
Home secretary Priti Patel has said that people arriving in the UK from June 8 onward must self-isolate for 14 days to help “reduce the risk” of a second wave of coronavirus cases.
