Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to require that (a) heads of government and (b) other people attending the G7 summit in June 2021 produce a negative covid-19 test before entering the UK.

The UK has some of the strongest safeguards against importing COVID-19 including variants of the virus and we expect foreign officials and diplomats to comply with UK health measures at the border.

We will take all necessary measures to ensure that the G7 Summit is fully COVID-secure and will discuss these with our G7 partners to ensure that their delegates are safe and avoid posing any risk to other attendees or local communities.
