Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answers of 17 June 2021 to Question 13841 and 24 June 2021 to Question 18559 on travel: coronavirus, if he will publish the regulatory impact assessment of his policy on which countries are placed on the (a) red, (b) amber and (c) green international covid-19 travel restriction lists.
The Department monitors the impact and costs of The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021. Due to the temporary nature of these Regulations, a regulatory impact assessment is not required and would be disproportionate. We regularly monitor the impact of these regulations as part of a statutory review cycle which takes place every 28 days.
