Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will add performing musicians who rely on international contracts to the list of jobs exempted from the quarantine rule.

Since 8 June, all passengers arriving in the UK without having travelled through another part of the Common Travel Area have been required to self-isolate for 14 days, apart from those on a short list of exemptions. Being a performing musician does not qualify for exemption from the requirement to self-isolate. The package of health measures at the border, including the list of exemptions, are subject to regular review to ensure they remain effective and necessary.
