Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether a person may (a) form a support bubble with someone who is living abroad and (b) travel to visit them during the covid-19 outbreak.
Under the current restrictions, people may only leave their home and travel for limited reasons permitted in law, including to visit a support bubble. If someone does need to travel abroad for a permitted reason, they must check the restrictions in place at their destination and ensure they are complying with the relevant law and guidance. They should also adhere to any quarantine rules that apply on their return to England. It is not advised that people form a support bubble with someone who is living abroad.
