I want free PCR testing for people with family in the EU
Rejected

What the petition asks
I want free covid-19 tests for people visiting family in the EU because I am a UK citizen with 3 children in Italy I can't afford to visit
People with family are not tourists. They do not mass together in discos or crowd seafronts and beaches. We go home and stay there usually
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Testing requirements for visiting overseas are a matter for the country being visited.
We could accept a petition calling for the Government to fund free PCR tests for people returning to the UK after visiting family, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
