Dominic Raab today denied that the UK is risking a new Covid outbreak by exempting double-jabbed EU and US travellers from quarantine.
The Foreign Secretary admitted there are 'no guarantees' that people will not try to game the system and avoid isolation by faking documentation, but stressed there will be tough checks.
And he insisted there will still be the 'right level of security and assurance' because only the fully-vaccinated are in line for special treatment from next week, and the government is 'keeping an eye' on variants.
He also revealed that more countries have been contacting him demanding the same get-out for their citizens.
