The UK-France border—previously shut by the French to stem the spread of a new strain of the CCP virus—will now remain open during the Christmas period, according to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps.

As the UK continues to clear the backlog of thousands of trucks through testing of drivers, Shapps said he had spoken to his counterpart in France about arrangements in the coming days.
