As you can imagine, listening to three experts at another private session of our Defence Select Committee this morning was simply fascinating. I wish I could say more, but they gave evidence in private. Dealing with many constituency matters, including the tall, empty Hardy block in Castletown, which is owned by Comer Homes and is proving attractive to youngsters to play around in. The island's town council want better security at the site and I was delighted to inquire into this. In pandemic news, a ban on travellers to the UK from South America, Portugal and Cape Verde will begin on Friday due to a new Covid variant identified in Brazil. Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the change would come into force from 0400. British and Irish citizens and foreign nationals with residence rights would still be able to travel but must isolate for 10 days, he added. The decision was announced after a meeting of ministers on Thursday. Finally, despite the huge need to free up space in hospitals, some care homes said insurance issues made it impossible for them to accept Covid-19 patients. In October, the government launched a scheme for designated care homes to take patients recovering from the virus but insurance is a stumbling block. Sir David Behan, head of the UK's largest care home company, HC-One, says insurance has become a major concern. The government said it was working to resolve the issue.
