“These vaccines are really highly effective against the Delta variant” Sir Patrick Vallance says giving all over-18s one jab will “reduce spread” of Covid and will help provide “double protection” to the population

Carl Dinnen at ITV News asks the PM:"Some of the support in place for business starts to reduce during this four-week delay, why aren't you keeping support and protections in place it at the level they are now?"

He asks Prof Whitty if we did not have this delay what does the modelling say is the worst that could happen to the NHS? Johnson says"we are not going backwards" and all the support measures are intended to last through to September.He says the 21 June was always a not before date and realistically it'll be more like an extra four weeks rather than two.

Prof Whitty says:"Whatever rate we are seeing now would be significantly increased because it would see more mixing of households indoors." Sir Patrick says:"The four-week delay should reduce the peak, whatever it would be, by something between 30 and 50%... and actually it's not very obvious that you get much more gain from going on any longer than that."
