Written answers

The Regulation referred to in the correspondence submitted by the Deputy applies to people travelling to an airport or port for the purposes of going overseas without reasonable excuse; however, the provision concerned is subject to the review of current Government advice to avoid non-essential travel, which is intended to be changed from 19 July. The necessary amendments to regulations will be made in order to give effect to the policy changes and the issue raised will be addressed in that context.
