PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Migrants: Coronavirus (2 July 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans the Government has to support people without funds to self-isolate safely after entering or returning to the UK.

Asked by:
Sarah Owen (Labour)

Answer

We have been clear people should arrange their accommodation before they travel to the UK and the vast majority of travellers have complied.

For the small minority who don’t, the Government will support them in finding appropriate accommodation.

We are working to ensure non-exempt arrivals without the means to effectively self-isolate are supported in making alternative arrangements, including accommodation, for their period of self-isolation.
