Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when they expect the government of France to relax the border restrictions on UK arrivals introduced on 18 December 2021; when they last discussed the issue with the government of France at any level; and when the Prime Minister last raised the closure of the UK–France border with the President of France.

I welcome the decision by the French authorities on 13 January to relax the border restrictions which were introduced on 18 December. The UK and France are in regular contact about the requirements for travel between our countries. FCDO travel advice is kept up to date as restrictions change.
