Stop the track and trace testing fee for British Citizens

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Presently British Citizens are forced to pay two hundred and ten pounds for a COVID test to land in the United Kingdom. These COVID test are free to British Citizens already in the UK. We would like the government to scrap this fee for British Citizens.
Many citizens have been trapped abroad due to travel bans and now remain trapped abroad as they are unable to afford the fees to return to the UK. It is extremely important that British Citizens can return home safely at no extra charge.
