“And day after day we have attempted to get a sensible answer from the UK government on how they intend to make these changes, which countries they intend to extend the arrangements to, and I just have to say it’s been an impossible experience to follow.” Speaking at her daily briefing in Edinburgh, she said the Scottish government would need to analyse the proposals “properly and rationally” from both a public health perspective and a legal perspective before coming to their own decision.“When so much is at stake, as it is right now, we can’t allow ourselves to be dragged along in the wake of another government’s, to be quite frank, shambolic decision making process.

“That is important for our tourism sector, it is important for our aviation sector, and it is important for our economy generally.”
