Interesting snippet in my favourite newspaper today. Wales & Scotland forced Boris to agree to bring the deadline quarantine for France forward by 24 hours.
Quote:
Ministers in London had originally intended to impose the quarantine measures from 4am on Sunday, in order to give holidaymakers a greater chance of getting home before they would be forced to self-isolate for 14 days on their return.
However, the government agreed to introduce the restrictions a day earlier following demands for more immediate action from both Scotland and Wales during a meeting with the devolved administrations late on Thursday evening.
Officials said ministers in London agreed to back down as they were keen to act in “unison” and remove any confusion for travellers returning to different parts of the UK.
