Regulate the price of expensive pcr tests
Travellers returning from countries on the government’s green list, as well as fully vaccinated passengers coming from amber list countries, must currently pay for a PCR test within two days of arriving in the UK.
Those arriving from amber countries who have not been double-jabbed must pay for tests on days two and eight, as well as quarantining for 10 days upon entry to the UK.
PCR travel tests, which must be purchased privately from a list of government-approved providers, cost around £75 on average in the UK.
These prices are shown on the gov uk website as low as £20 per test but in actual fact are being charged from £75-£150 per test.
