Grant Schapps tells people to start to think about booking holidays abroad. (Canva/PA) Grant Shapps has told people to “start to think” about booking their summer holidays abroad. The Transport Secretary said it was the first time in “many months” he was not advising against foreign travel. On Friday Mr Shapps announced a “framework” for the resumption of overseas leisure travel, which included requiring all arrivals to take pre-departure and post-arrival coronavirus tests. Post-arrival tests must be the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) type which cost about £120, he said. This led to a furious backlash from the travel industry, which wants travellers returning from low-risk countries to be allowed to take lateral flow tests, which are cheaper and quicker.
