Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what financial support is available to Britons returning from high-risk countries who cannot afford the cost of a mandatory hotel quarantine.

For those facing significant financial hardship as a result of the managed quarantine charge, there will be an opportunity to apply for a deferred repayment plan when booking. This is available for individuals who already receive income-related benefits and they will be required to pay in 12 monthly instalments.
