Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps the Global Travel Taskforce is taking to ensure that a robust testing regime is in place as soon as the covid-19 lockdown restrictions are lifted.

The Global Travel Taskforce has been considering a range of testing options and non-testing measures to ensure passenger safety and give travellers confidence once current restrictions ease. The Taskforce has also undertaken extensive consultation with the transport industry, international partners, tourism sector, business leaders and the private testing sector and will submit its recommendations to the Prime Minister in November.
