Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said Labour’s call for more airport testing was not a “silver bullet”.
Mr Raab told BBC One’s Andrew Marr Show: “Let’s just be clear about this when we think about airports – there is no silver bullet in airports.
“The current data suggests that the success rate of positively identifying people with Covid with a test in the airport is less than 10%.”
Put to him that those numbers increase if passengers are then tested again seven days later, Mr Raab said: “There is no silver bullet in the airport alone and that’s why we have the quarantine.
“So, the direction of travel will be making sure we have the capacity and the ability for when the time is right to ease up on the self-isolation at home, and that’s certainly something that we’ll be looking at.
“But we couldn’t – and I think Labour have got themselves into a terrible muddle on this – the idea that one test in an airport could resolve the quarantine issues … we couldn’t safely do that.
“We’re not going to let up on a measure which is crucial for keeping the virus under control.”
