New vaccination checks likely to cause cross-Channel delays, minister says

LONDON, July 8 (Reuters) - New checks on Britons'
vaccination status, designed to end the need for quarantine on
return to England, could cause queues at airports and ports,
including the busy cross-Channel route, Transport Secretary
Grant Shapps said.

"These additional checks are likely to cause delays
potentially on both sides of the border of the Channel this
summer," Shapps told lawmakers on Thursday. "I am working
closely with my French counterpart to try to minimise any delays
as much as possible."
