<p>British travellers who need and want to return to the UK is one of the Government's
highest priorities. Since the outbreak in Wuhan, we estimate that over 1.3 million
people have returned to the UK via commercial routes - the majority supported by our
work to keep vital routes open. Since the Foreign Secretary announced £75m to support
repatriation efforts on 30 March, the Government has so far delivered a programme
of over 150 charter flights from where commercial options are no longer viable. These
flights have brought over 31,000 travellers, from 27 countries and territories, back
to UK airports in the East Midlands, London and Manchester.</p>
