Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when his Department plans to remove Ecuador from the covid-19 travel red list.

Ecuador was removed from the red list on Monday 1 November. There are no countries or territories currently on the UK’s red list. However, the data for all countries and territories will be kept under regular review and the red list will continue to operate as the UK’s first defence to prevent incoming variants of concern from entering the UK from international travel.
