Here is Gavin Williamson talking this afternoon about the decision on the evening of 14 December to force Greenwich to reopen Schools: "At that stage none of us were aware of the new variant."
And here is Matt Hancock earlier that day telling the House of Commons about the existence of the new variant. https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2020-12-14/debates/1E935A24-A8B4-4862-B8B5-C471D5CB40F1/Covid-19Update#contribution-678D7D5F-FFFC-493E-939F-690378B57F52
Matt Hancock also spoke of "the faster spread in the South of England" but Williamson claimed: "You'd seen authorities and schools right across the North of England and right across the Midlands... with case rates much higher than we'd seen in Greenwich."
Has Gavin Williamson just ceased to have any interest in whether what comes out of his mouth is true or not?
