Communities secretary Robert Jenrick has said people should use their “personal judgement” during the five-day relaxation of coronavirus restrictions over Christmas despite pressure for it to be scrapped.
The Labour leader said he was “increasingly worried about the lifting of restrictions” amid rising coronavirus cases across the country.
But, speaking to Sky News, Mr Jenrick suggested that the government was not planning to reverse the measures, saying he hoped that “the legal framework will continue”.
