Yes he definitely said 5th, maybe they're going to say no to 17th May travel and defer to 21st June so they'll tell us all sooner.

Great news! Hopefully you'll be fine. I had AZ 5 days ago and not a single side effect!

This is how the BBC reported it:

Asked whether foreign travel will be able to go ahead this summer, the PM says the taskforce will report back on 12 April but he hopes to have more to tell us by 5 April
As HB7 rightly said, the chances of keeping everything quiet for 2 weeks after the 30th are not good. Even if Mr Leaky stays away from the Telegraph, the other members of the taskforce will want to be letting people know either way as early as possible.

Let's not forget that all of this chat of April and May dates for intl travel is England only.

Some good news Spain will lift travel ban on UK visitors from 30th March.

Have we heard any more about vaccine stock going forward after this week...did it turn out to be better than feared?

Just one day after the ban on taking a foreign holiday becomes law in England... :)

A ban or a tax on the wealthy who can afford the tax fine?

Haven't heard anything but the news reported that the Exeter "mass" vaccination centre will close on the 1st April for 10 days, the only other one in Devon at Plymouth wasn't mentioned.

I'm due to have mine early Thursday morning at the local gp site, pretty much everyone I know in the over 50's group have either been jabbed or due to be in the few days.

There's never been a better time to look into buying a holiday home in Spain.

Unfortunately, this has no material effect for any Briton.

Not yet but it's one less hurdle gone.

It does for me. I have a client I have needed to visit on site in Spain. Now I can go.
