He also said that the countries that will be on the "green list" will be announced in the next couple weeks. Under the current government plans, the earliest we'll be able to go on holiday abroad again will be May 17th, subject to review.
Mr Shapps also confirmed an NHS app will be used to allow Britons to demonstrate whether they have had a COVID jab, or tested negative for the virus, before travelling abroad.
"It will be the NHS app that is used for people when they book appointments with the NHS and so on, to be able to show you've had a vaccine or that you've had testing," he added.
