A traveller has appealed to the Government to issue full refunds to those staying in a quarantine hotel which he says is infested with rats.

The 25-year-old man from York, identified only as Anthony, contacted his MP Rachael Maskell after he checked into the Mercure Hotel at Heathrow to quarantine under Government guidelines.
