Written question asked by Wes Streeting (Labour) on Thursday, 3 October 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 2 October 2019. It was answered by Kevin Foster (Conservative) on Thursday, 3 October 2019 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he plans to provide a substantive answer to Question 286315, tabled on 3 September by the hon. Member for Ilford North.

Answer

Both the UK and the EU have now adopted measures that mean flights will continue after 31 October. This means businesses and citizens can continue to book and fly with confidence. Travellers, including those in Ilford North, planning to travel to the EU should ensure they have complied with all travel advice and have the necessary documentation and insurances, such as International Driving Permits (IDPs) and Green Cards, which will be needed by private motorists.

After Brexit the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) card may not be valid. Holiday-makers should get appropriate travel insurance with healthcare cover before going abroad. Guidance is available on visiting the EU after Brexit on gov.uk at: https://www.gov.uk/visit-europe-brexit
