and are both set to shun foreign holidays this summer and instead favour 'staycations' in the UK, sources suggest. 
Britons are able to stay overnight in self-contained accommodation - including hotels and bed and breakfasts - as well as campsites since lockdown measures were eased on July 4.
And, in what appears to be a bid to boost Britain's hard-hit tourism industry, both the Prime Minister and the Chancellor will opt to spend their holidays at home, reports suggest.
The move is set to put pressure on other MPs to avoid travelling abroad as well - even though 67 countries were taken off the Foreign Office's 'non-essential travel' list earlier this month.

A source close to the PM told: 'He hasn't had much of a chance to think about holidays, but it will definitely be in the UK.'

Mr Johnson and Miss Symonds are said to be deciding on where to go in the UK with their two-month-old son Wilfred in the coming weeks. 
He has a variety of options, including the PM's grace-and-favour homes Chevening and Chequers - where Miss Symonds isolated while pregnant during the pandemic - and his privately-owned farmhouse in Oxfordshire.

These include a magnificent Georgian manor in North Yorkshire as well as a £7million property in London. 
Mr Johnson's father Stanley earlier faced fierce criticism for travelling abroad to Greece when the Foreign Office guidance said Britons should not go abroad unless they have to.
He flew to Athens via Bulgaria due to a current ban on direct flights from the UK, before visiting his Villa Irene, on Mount Pelion, in central Greece.

But the Prime Minister's father said he was visiting on 'essential business' because he needed to 'Covid-proof my property' ahead of the letting season.
Referring to his residence in Greece, Mr Johnson told reporters: 'I came here to have a quiet time, to organise the house.
'I think I'm going to go back on July 10. So, I have just got one week to get everything organised. Got a whole lot of instructions about how to make the place Covid proof.' 
By some local accounts, he arrived to the region by private car after documenting his controversial journey from the UK on social media, sharing a video taken from a plane and a selfie where his face was covered with a white mask.
Hounded by local and international media in Pelion, a visibly unnerved Mr Johnson said he was unaware of the outcry in Britain about his flight.
Still, he conceded scrapping pictures that he posted on social media accounts, tracking his journey.
'It is true I took the pictures down,' he said. 'But I didn't put them up in spirit of defiance…. I certainly had no intention of provoking anyone.'
