Chippenham MP to back vote on which will see Wiltshire enter Tier 2 tomorrow.

Michelle Donelan, MP for Chippenham and minister of state for universities says she will be supporting the government vote today in the House of Commons.

She said: "With vaccines around the corner, we are at a critical juncture in our fight against coronavirus and think we are so close to the end of this heroic national effort that we cannot give up now.

"It would be irresponsible for any government to drop the ball when we are only months away from rolling out vaccines across the country and returning to normal life.

"With the south west one of three regions treating more Covid-19 patients than at the peak of the first wave, it is now more important than ever that we remain vigilant and prevent our health service from becoming overwhelmed."
