The Health Secretary Matt Hancock has echoed Boris Johnson’s optimism about people being able to enjoy a summer holiday this year.
After speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme confirming a 24/7 vaccination rollout was unlikely to be delivered in the near future he made his was over to ITV.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Mr Hancock said he is “optimistic” about the prospect of people being able to enjoy a holiday in the summer, reconfirming what he said last month.
“I’m optimistic that we will have a great British summer,”
“The challenge that we all still have is we have to keep control of the virus, so we have got to monitor progress.
“But the vaccine rollout is going well, the vaccines clearly work and so this is really, really good progress.”
Earlier this week the Prime Minister also said he was “optimistic” about the summer holidays, provided the disease can be kept under control.
“I don’t want to give too much concrete by way of dates for our summer holidays. I am optimistic – I understand the reasons for being optimistic – but some things have got to go right,” he said.
