Our reaction to the Government's Global Travel Taskforce

Matthew Fell, CBI Chief UK Policy Director, said:

“Effective airport testing has a vital role to play in jumpstarting international travel and trade, so today’s announcement of the Global Travel Taskforce will be welcomed by business.

“As global trade picks up, Britain must be at the forefront. A successful testing system will help air passengers travel confidently and conveniently and underscore the UK’s status as a hub for international connectivity.

“The UK economy is fuelled by international travel for access to tourists, trade and talent. Firms will be watching this taskforce and the Government’s subsequent decisions on testing closely.”
