Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to his announcement of 24 June 2021, if he will publish the criteria that need to be met in order for the Government to proceed with the removal of quarantine requirements for arrivals from amber list countries who are fully vaccinated against covid-19.
There are a number of factors to be considered, including Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation’s view on the participation of children in the vaccine programme, as well as consideration for travellers who are exempt from vaccination, such as those who are unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons or those on clinical trials. Further detail will be set out shortly on these issues and how and when it will be operationalised.
