1/ I asked the Home Secretary today why the Covid border system had failed to stop multiple Delta cases entering UK & spreading across the country so we can learn lessons for future new variants.
She told me the system didn’t fail.

2/ I asked why India wasn’t put on red list earlier.
India cases were doubling in early April & NERVTAG recommended action on 16 April, so why did Government delay until 23 April?
Home Secretary told me “it is entirely wrong to suggest we delayed putting India on the red list”

3/ No one in the country thinks the Government’s border policy worked to stop the Delta variant spreading across the country. We can all see the evidence.
But if these are Government’s answers, how can we believe they’ll act any faster if there’s a worse new variant next time?
