Green list UPDATE: Grant Shapps defends travel changes and used maximum ‘transparency’ as Balearic Islands & Malta added
SUNSEEKERS have been given their biggest boost of the year with Ibiza, Majorca, Malta and the Caribbean all promoted to the green list.
In a major win for summer holidays, a bumper list of new destinations where Brits can travel without quarantine has opened up foreign travel from as early as next week.
