Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to enable universities to use their residential accommodation as so-called “quarantine hotels” for international students arriving in UK from countries for which a period of quarantine is required during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Department is currently exploring the options for international students arriving in the United Kingdom from ‘red list’ countries. However, we have no current plans to enable universities to use their residential accommodation as managed quarantine facilities for international students.
