Matt Hancock chairs today’s Downing Street press conference after being warned by the country's statistics watchdog that the Government's testing figures for coronavirus are "still far from complete and comprehensible".

David Norgrove, chairman of the UK Statistics Authority, said the way the Government presented the figures appeared to be aimed at showing "the largest possible number of tests, even at the expense of understanding".

Elsewhere, Housing Minister Simon Clarke has said that it is going to be "very, very difficult" for people to take summer holidays this year, despite confirming that air bridges are still part of a "live" debate.

He told BBC Breakfast that the two-week quarantine, which comes in from June 8, was "absolutely vital" and would last "for as long as is needed".

That has gone down badly with the bosses of Britain’s biggest travel and hospitality businesses, who have warned they will have to lay off up to 60 per cent of their staff if the quarantine goes ahead.
