The sentence for lying on a passenger locator form of up to 10 years in jail announced by the health secretary yesterday will come under the Forgery Act 1981.

Remember that it's a maximum sentence - courts will decide the actual prison term.

It is not currently expected that any extra legislation will be needed for this aspect of the regulations.

Other offences with maximum 10-year sentences include possessing a firearm without a licence, rioting and making threats to kill.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced tougher enforcement of travel quarantine rules including fines and even prison sentences for passengers arriving in the UK who fail to comply.

So, how tough has enforcement been?

The latest figures show that police in England and Wales investigated around 11,000 potential breaches of the self-isolation rule (the requirement for people to quarantine at home or another location for 10 days) in the period to 17 January.

The majority - just over 8,600 - needed no further investigation.

But in almost 1,800 cases the police were unable to take any action because no-one answered the door or they had the wrong address.

Just 332 fines were actually given out. Border Force officials are also able to hand out fines but we can’t find any figures for this.

A survey from the Office for National Statistics in October suggested that roughly two-thirds of people said they were following the quarantine rules.

This means the other third breached the rules in some way or another.

In PMQs earlier, during an exchange over coronavirus vaccinations, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer: "If we'd have listened to the right honourable gentleman… we would still be at the starting blocks because he wanted to stay in the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and said so four times from that dispatch box."

The EMA has been slower to approve Covid-19 vaccines for the EU than UK regulators have for the UK.

The Labour leader denied this saying: "The prime minister knows I've never said that from this dispatch box or anywhere else, but the truth escapes him."

We've found two examples when Starmer did speak up in favour of the EMA. They were from 2017 and made in the context of the ongoing Brexit debate back then.

On 17 January 2017, Starmer said in Parliament, external: "Let me give some examples of the bits that she should seek to retain…the European Aviation Safety Agency, which deals with safety; the European Medicines Agency; and Europol, which I worked with for many years."

Later that month, he said in a parliamentary speech, external: "Why would we want to be outside the European Medicines Agency, which ensures that all medicines in the EU market are safe and effective?"

The prime minister and the Labour leader clashed over whether the UK’s borders should be closed, to limit the arrival of new variants of coronavirus identified in other countries, including the South African strain.

Sir Keir Starmer said that 21,000 travellers were still coming to the UK every day. The government has yet to publish data for the number of people entering the country in December and January.

But on January 21, Paul Lincoln, the director-general of UK Border Force, told MPs that on Monday 18 January, “we had about 21,000 people coming into the country”.

Incoming travellers now have to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken in the previous 72 hours. Of the 21,000 who arrived that day, 10,000 were asked to show evidence of a negative test result, according to Paul Lincoln.

Checks on animal and food products at two Northern Irelands ports have been suspended following concerns over staff safety.

The checks, which apply to some goods travelling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, were first introduced as part of a Brexit agreement called the Northern Ireland Protocol.

But what exactly is it?

Black Americans are being vaccinated at a much slower rate than white Americans, early data suggests.

US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), external figures show that black Americans received 5.4% of jabs during the first month of the rollout, despite making up around 15% of healthcare workers and nursing home residents (the top priority groups).

The data shows Hispanic Americans are also being vaccinated at a slower rate than white Americans.

This is despite minority groups being more likely to die from Covid-19, external.

The CDC says further data is needed, as the numbers broken down by race are only available for about half of the people vaccinated up until 14 January.

A separate Kaiser Health News study, external looked at data from 23 states, finding that in every state white residents were being vaccinated at higher rates than black residents - often at double the rate, or even higher.

The Kaiser study says: “African Americans are being left behind because of barriers stemming from structural racism, as well as a failure to address nuanced hesitancy and mistrust about the vaccines and the medical system overall.”

It has been a month since the rules changed in the UK's relationship with the EU.

Even before a vaccination drive began in India, rumours and misinformation were circulating.

The Prime Minister said “I know how frustrated teachers are with…remote learning as well. That's why we provided one point three million laptops.”

However, the latest published figures show that 876,000 laptops and tablets had been delivered to schools in England as of January 24, according to the Department for Education.

These statistics are updated every Tuesday.

The government plans to deliver 1.3m in total.

The scheme is targeted at helping disadvantaged children with remote learning.

Communications regulator Ofcom has previously estimated that between 1.1m and 1.8m children do not have access to a laptop or tablet.
