UK Covid-19: Conservative MP says Covid vaccine passports still 'lever we could pull' despite U-turn

Health Secretary Sajid Javid declared that the government 'will not be going ahead' with the controversial move for nightclubs and major events in England. The U-turn comes after ministers were sent out to defend the proposals last week despite heavy fire from Conservative MPs who branded them 'unsupportable, coercive and discriminatory'. Responding to briefing about the policy being axed in interviews this morning, Mr Javid only initially told Sky News that he 'hoped we can avoid' the step. But little more than an hour later he was categorical, telling the BBC's Andrew Marr show: 'We will not be going ahead with plans for vaccine passports.'

Speaking on the Government u-turn on the requirement for vaccine passports at large events, Conservative MP Thérèse Coffey declares that bringing them in is still a 'lever they could pull'.
