Private tests for Covid-19 for travel in and out of the UK.
For the goverment to allow approved private sector tests for Covid-19 to everyone travelling in and out of the UK prior to boarding. Possibly adding a surcharge on fares to enable this to happen.
This would increase confidence in travelling in a struggling Travel Industry and help the Tourism and Hospitality Sector as well and reduce new Covid cases in the UK.
This would also reduce pressure on the NHS Covid-19 testing facilities.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. People can already pay for private testing prior to travelling. We are not sure if you would like this to have an impact on quarantine measures, or be required before entry to the UK.
