There may be issues about what else can be released more generally, but I believe that the hon. Gentleman and the public have a representative sample of the images.

Where I fell short and where we fell short, I apologise. I thank all colleagues who asked their constituents to follow the guidelines. Yes, the Government can be very proud of a lot of what we delivered during covid.
