The British government’s negotiations with the Mayor of Greater Manchester on placing the region under tier 3 lockdown have ended without a deal, Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick said on Tuesday.

Jenrick, who has been talking on behalf of the government with Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham on support packages for workers and businesses affected by the lockdown, said he was disappointed with the outcome.
