To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to clarify the COVID-19 tier rules for those with two or more places of residence; and whether someone whose primary residence is subject to one tier must abide by that tier's rules if moving to a secondary residence in a different tier.

People must comply with the restrictions and guidance in place in the area that they are currently residing. Those residing in areas that are under additional restrictions above the medium level should not be travelling to other areas. Similarly, we expect that inhabitants of medium restriction areas should not travel to other areas with greater restrictions.
The National Health Service continues to provide healthcare services in all parts of the country, and there are exemptions to the rules in areas of increased restrictions that allow patients to attend medical, dental and ophthalmic appointments in other areas. There are no specific restrictions relating to travel and transport. However, people should keep their journeys to a minimum.
