I suspect that we won't see all regulations removed in one go at the end of this month.
However Boris Johnson will have to come up with a staged plan to remove all regulations by a certain date (a "roadmap Mk2" if you like) which will be considerably shorter than the roadmap last year. (ie. none of this **** about "wait five weeks in between stages")
I suspect that the final end date for all regulations to be removed will be around the second anniversary of the lockdown and the expiry of the regulations under the Coronavirus Act in March.
And by removed I would hope that the regulations are really removed, and that, for example, it will be illegal for any business or service to deny entry to someone who is not wearing a face covering, so that there will none of this nonsense about face coverings being "recommended and expected", even though they aren't mandatory.
