It comes after transport secretary Grant Shapps reportedly said he wanted PLFs to be phased out in time for the school holidays in April.

Transport committee chair Huw Merriman told The Telegraph that with the ending of self-isolation last week and removal of all Covid restrictions, the PLF had become "totally redundant". 

"It’s a drain on international travel; the sector arguably most impacted by the pandemic," he added. "To leave this cumbersome and intrusive document in place has absolutely no logic and only adds insult to injury."

Meanwhile, Sir Graham Brady, chair of the Conservative 1922 backbench committee, told the paper: "Most other countries have massively simplified their passenger locator form or dispensed with them. 

"We should now do the same in order to remove a further burden for travellers in a world where all domestic restrictions have already been swept aside."

Henry Smith, Tory chair of the all party Future of Aviation group, described the forms as "time-consuming and confusing".
