“However, we hope the UK government will not leave behind those who are not fully vaccinated, and ensure there is a plan in place to make international travel for those people, as stress free and as cost-effective as possible.

“However, we must never forget the huge sacrifices that so many have made over the last 18 months, and the huge suffering experienced by so many, and we therefore hope the public will remain vigilant.”
