Michael Gove to holiday on Greek island as he says travel to region is safe

Gove says people should follow Foreign Office advice about travel to Rhodes as he reveals he is going to island of Evia next week

It is still safe for tourists to travel to Rhodes in line with current UK government advice, a cabinet minister has said, who added he was planning to holiday on another Greek island next week.

Michael Gove was speaking amid continued scrutiny of the Foreign Office's categorisation of the wildfire-stricken island and pressure for it to change to enable tourists to get a refund for their trips through their travel insurance.
