List close family visits as essential reasons for travel

Petition Details

To ask the Government to allow close family visits (parents, siblings and partners) and list them as essential reasons for travel.

Additional Information

Cognisant of the precaurious situation regarding the spread of Covid-19 throughout the EU and the progress made in the UK, we ask the Government to consider proportionality when it comes to banning travel from European Union countries.

Whilst a ban on international holidays isn't unreasonable, seeing close family members (incl. parents, grandparents, siblings) and partners should not be considered a foreign holiday. Doing so reinforces the hostile environment towards international families.
