Covid Security at UK Borders — 1 Feb 2021 at 21:52

The majority of MPs voted for a hotel based quarantine system for all arrivals into the UK, to publish the evidence behind the Government's decision not to introduce such a system, and for public funding to support the aviation industry.

The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:

  • That this House calls on the Government to immediately introduce a comprehensive hotel quarantine system for all arrivals into the UK, thereby securing the country against the import of new strains and maximising the effectiveness of the country’s vaccination programme; to publish the scientific evidence which informed the Government’s decision not to introduce a comprehensive hotel quarantine regime to flights from all countries; and to announce a sector support package for aviation focused on employment and environmental improvements.
