The latest tranche of leaked messages date from the emergence of the Alpha variant which caused a surge of cases in December 2020
Speaking to the BBC’s Laura Kuennsberg this morning, Cabinet minister Chris Heaton-Harris insisted the Government had not set out to “scare” people during the pandemic.
Mr Heaton-Harris warned against relying on the messages which were sent at a time when information about Covid-19 was still unclear and vaccines hadn’t been distributed. “Today’s revelations were around the time when there were no vaccines, there was limited testing. I think you got to put it in the time context as well as everything else, which is why it’s important to wait for the inquiry.”
Mr Hancock has repeatedly criticised the reports as a “partial, biased account to suit an anti-lockdown agenda.”
