LONDON, June 24 (Reuters) - Britain wants to return to a
position that allows people to travel abroad again for a foreign
holiday but new variants of the novel coronavirus are
complicating the easing, Environment Secretary George Eustice
said on Thursday.
Asked if Brits would be able to enjoy a foreign holiday on
Spanish islands this year amid speculation that restrictions on
travel to Ibiza and Mallorca could be eased, Eustice said:
"Well, personally I want us to get back to a position where
we can support those who want to travel to do so, nobody likes
the draconian restrictions we've had to put in place over this
last year."
