Coronavirus deaths could have been reduced "by at least half" if the UK had gone into lockdown a week earlier, one of government's former key advisers has told MPs.
Professor Neil Ferguson, of London's Imperial College, said he believed the right decisions were taken by ministers over COVID-19 but questioned whether they were taken at the right time.
Is it ironic that Prof Neil Ferguson quit as a government adviser on coronavirus after admitting "undermining" the rules on social distancing and breaking the lockdown rules he had advocated?
