Mr Hancock told the House of Commons on Monday that while the B1617.2 variant seemed more transmissible, the evidence suggests that vaccines were effective against it.

A COMPETITION for primary school children to design a superhero that can tackle air pollution has been launched. South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils are giving school children the chance to win a Micro scooter as a top prize in the air pollution tackling competition. Children are being asked to draw or make a model of superheroes. Judges are looking out for a superhero designed with super powers that enable them to travel without using cars and can make the air cleaner and clearer. The competition is part of the councils’ air quality campaign called ‘Turn It Off’ which is primarily aimed at drivers who let their vehicles engines idle while they are waiting for passengers – often waiting outside schools.
