Vallance wasn't told of Eat Out To Help Out before launch

Sir Patrick Vallance says he, as the government’s chief scientific adviser, was not asked for guidance on the Eat Out To Help Out scheme introduced by the then-chancellor Rishi Sunak.

He continues the policy contradicted the public health message at the time, and “quite likely” contributed to an increase in Covid transmissions.
