People must explain travel reasons under new British border measures

LONDON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Britain announced new measures to
reduce travel on Wednesday with a requirement that people
wishing to leave the country must fill in a form to explain why
they are travelling, as well as introducing new hotel quarantine
stays for some arrivals.

"It is clear that there are still too many people coming in
and out of our country each day," Home Secretary (interior
minister) Priti Patel said on Wednesday.

"We will introduce a new requirement so that people wishing
to travel must first make a declaration as to why they need to
travel."
