A health minister today defended the timing of Britain shutting its borders with India, as the Government came under fire for inexplicable delays in reacting to the spread of the deadly variant abroad. Labour has piled pressure on No10 for keeping India off the red list until late April, some two weeks after neighbouring Pakistan and Bangladesh were added. Critics branded the delay reckless, misguided and dangerous with 122 cases of the rapidly-spreading variant already entering the UK by the time restrictions around travel to and from India were finally enforced.  Some have previously suggested that the Prime Minister was keen to keep relations strong with India, having planned a visit - which subsequently had to be cancelled - as part of efforts to negotiate a post-Brexit trade deal.
