Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions he has had with members of the expatriate community that spend short periods of time in the UK when finalising the legislative proposals on the two week quarantine period for people returning to the UK during the covid-19 outbreak.

From 8 June, all passengers arriving in the UK without having travelled through another part of the Common Travel Area are required to self-isolate for 14 days, apart from those on a short list of exemptions.

Those spending fewer than 14 days in the UK can depart again before the 14 days are complete.

Communications have been set up to clarify these measures to all those coming to the UK. These are available at the border and on gov.uk.
