Health Secretary Matt Hancock appeared to be more optimistic than in the past when asked about the prospect of people being able to go on holiday this summer.

He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think the answer is let’s see where we get to.”

Mr Hancock had previously commented that “big, lavish international holidays” were “unlikely” to be possible this summer.
