On December 3rd England will return to a three-tiered system of local coronavirus restrictions with further details of these restrictions to be announced by the Prime Minister tomorrow.
It is understood that the Cabinet have spent much of today to discussing the new plans and will sign them off before Mr Johnson announces it to Parliament.
MPs are expected to be given the vote to approve the new system, as promised by Mr Johnson, in the days before the current lockdown restrictions end on December 2nd.
The tiers are expected to be strengthened, with more local areas in the higher tiers to keep coronavirus under control and to safeguard the gains made during the national lockdown but it is understood that the 10pm curfew on pubs and restaurants will be extended to 11pm, with last orders called at 10pm, under the new system.
