Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress he has made with his Cabinet colleagues on easing international travel restrictions for UK nationals.

On 24 January the Secretary of State for Transport announced that the government will reduce international travel restrictions ensuring a more proportionate system is in place for passengers.

From 4am on 11 February eligible fully vaccinated arrivals will no longer have to undertake a post-arrival Lateral Flow test. Self-isolation and day 8 tests will also be removed for arrivals who are not recognised as fully vaccinated. Although the PLF will still be required for all travellers, it will also be simplified to reflect our more streamlined system.
