Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of (a) including and (b) not including an amber travel list in the covid-19 traffic light system prior to the introduction of that list.

The “traffic light” country system was developed in conjunction with industry and international partners to facilitate the return of international travel.

The three categories of countries (red, amber and green), to which different restrictions are applied depending on risk, are designed to help the public to understand the health requirements when travelling to England.
