Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will work with the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs to ensure that covid-19-related guidance for travel issued by that Department is in-line with the guidance issued by his Department via its travel lists.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) travel advice, and the “traffic light" country allocation system are two independent processes based on different risks.

FCDO travel advice considers the risk to British nationals travelling overseas, while measures at the UK border aim to mitigate the overall risk to UK public health of inbound travel to the UK.

Passengers are advised to check foreign travel advice for the country or territory they wish to travel to and the rules for testing and quarantine on return to England before they book any foreign travel.
