Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will reduce the costs of British residents and citizens returning to the UK from red-list countries and their hotel quarantine for people who are unable to meet those costs.

The Government has no plans to provide funding for travel costs. For those facing significant financial hardship as a result of these there is an opportunity to apply for a deferred repayment plan when booking. We have set out how to apply for this on GOV.UK, in particular for individuals who receive income related benefits. We keep all our measures under constant review.
