Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that inbound passengers on indirect flights out of red-list countries are not able to evade having to quarantine in a Government-approved hotel for 10 days.
Border Force will use all the information available to them to identify those who may have travelled to the United Kingdom indirectly from countries where a travel ban has been imposed and will stop them at the border wherever possible. All arriving passengers must complete a passenger locator form that will detail their travel before they arrived in the UK and whether they have been in a ‘red list’ country in the 10 days before their arrival in the UK.
