The Prime Minister today cancelled his planned trip to India this week, and the Health Secretary has just announced that India has been placed on the Government’s travel red list amid a devastating surge in coronavirus cases, with well over 200,000 detected on a daily basis.

To assuage community concerns, will the Health Secretary clarify that our vaccines are effective against this new variant?
