Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on issuing guidance on (a) people returning to places of work in places and cities under different tiers and (b) other elements of travel between areas under different tiers between 23 and 27 December.

The Government’s advice on the Christmas travel window was updated on 19 December 2020 following a review of the latest COVID data. Updated guidance, reflecting the decision to reduce the travel window, the introduction of tier 4 restrictions and travelling between tiers was published on gov.uk. Guidance is updated as the situation changes.
