Tui refund: Travel firm makes it harder to claim money back for cancelled holidays

Britain’s biggest travel firm appears to have made the process of obtaining a refund more difficult for the hundreds of thousands of customers whose trips have been cancelled.

Under the Package Travel Regulations, Tui  is required to provide a full cash refund within two weeks of cancelling a departure.

Like almost all holiday firms, it is unable to meet the 14-day deadline.

The Government ordered the huge amount from India, where the drugs are made, who have approved the export of 2,800,000 packets which will be distributed to leading UK supermarkets and retailers.

Spitfire salute planned for Tom Moore

A Spitfire flypast is reportedly being planned to mark the 100th birthday of Captain Tom Moore, who has raised more than £21 million for NHS Charities Together.

The Second World War veteran initially aimed to raise £1,000 and walk 100 lengths of his Bedfordshire garden before turning 100 on April 30.

But more than a million donors have helped the fundraiser approach £21.5 million as of the early hours of Saturday.
