Boris Johnson told to tackle young people flouting virus rules before over 50's lockdown
that ministers needed to tackle the issue of young people flouting restrictions ahead of examining new rules for the older generation.

Deputy leader of Cornwall Council Adam Paynter also hit out against holidaymakers arriving in droves from other parts of the country, claiming locals were fearful it could spark a fresh wave of infections in the region.
