Reduce costs for the travel test package
Reduce costs for travel test package to entering in the Uk. 210£ it’s way to expensive. Average of a COVID test is around 40£. Why do we need to pay 210£ to entering the country and come back to our home?
Reduce the cost of travel test package. I have residency in London. I own a house in London and to come back to my house I have to pay more then 500£ (Flights, travel test package and COVID test before entering the country). This is very discriminatory and will allow only rich people to travel.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
While the UK Government is responsible for the Test to Release scheme, the cost of any private Covid-19 tests a visitor to the UK chooses to pay for through that scheme is a matter for private providers, not the UK Government or Parliament. You can find out more about the scheme here: www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-test-to-release-for-international-travel.
You could start a petition calling on the Government to fund free Covid-19 tests through the Test to Release scheme, if that is something you'd like to happen.
