Rumours are that the Home Office will require a form from 8 March, but nothing has been published yet.
I thought 8th March was just the date when
'Priti's Permission Slip' was likely to be publicly confirmed, but it would only take effect from 29th/30th March when the existing 'ban' on leaving home expires, and the actual detail of the form, application process and web gateway would slowly emerge from the fog of confusion during the intervening 2-3 weeks. That's the usual government process with Covid measures, it seems.
