A government minister has suggested that free lateral flow tests are likely to be scrapped when Boris Johnson announces his 'living with Covid' plan next week.
James Heappey, the armed forces minister, said it was time to "reconsider" whether some pandemic measures should remain in place as he argued Britons needed to "change behaviours" in the face of future coronavirus variants potentially being less threatening.
The Prime Minister is set to outline his post-pandemic plan of action when Parliament returns from recess on Monday, having already stated he will aim within days of his statement to lift the requirement for those positive with Covid to self-isolate.
