Department for Transport written question – answered at on 1 October 2020.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to publish the (a) data and (b) evidential basis for the Government's decision-making on including the Greek islands on the UK's quarantine list during the covid-19 pandemic.
The Government takes a range of factors into account when deciding which countries to add or remove from the Travel Corridor list. This includes:
?
As this remains a relatively new virus, data about global infection rates and the trajectory of the disease are not always consistent or predictable between countries. That is why each destination is considered on an individual basis, and taken together, the different factors provide a risk assessment that allows Ministers to decide whether a country needs to be removed from the travel corridors list.
I refer the honourable member to the Secretary of State for Transport’s Written Ministerial Statement on travel corridors made on 6 June 2020.
