Travel chaos: Blame game won't fix disruption

Responding to the ongoing travel chaos at UK airports and the Transport Secretary’s accusation that firms have “oversold” holidays, Liz Saville Roberts MP, who sits on the UK Trade and Business Commission, said

“The government’s yo-yoing on travel restrictions throughout the pandemic created serious uncertainty within the sector and now Brexit red-tape is hampering travel firms’ ability to hire staff from Europe, with labour shortages causing cancelled flights and ruined plans.

“Ministers can play the blame game all they like but it will not fix this serious disruption and with Summer holidays fast approaching, the government must rethink their post-Brexit visa policy now to avoid further chaos in the months ahead.”
