Leaked messages suggest a battle within the UK government over whether to close schools during the covid outbreak in early 2021.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock appears to have worked to over-rule Education Secretary Gavin Williamson who wanted to keep schools open.

Critics say it shows a chaotic government response to the pandemic.
Current schools minister Nick Gibb says it was a challenging period.
