Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many of her Department's ministers have been exempted from quarantine in a hotel after returning to the UK from a covid-19 red list country to which they have travelled for the purposes of conducting official business.

Since managed quarantine for red list arrivals was introduced in February 2021, nine Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Ministers, including those who are no longer ministers at the FCDO, have received an exemption from managed quarantine on their return to the UK after making official visits to a red list country.
