Conservative MP slams ‘Plan B’ vaccine passport plans

Mark Harper, the Conservative MP for the Forest of Dean, took to Twitter this morning to criticise the government’s proposals for mandatory COVID certifications in a ‘Plan B’ Autumn and Winter scenario.

He said via Twitter:

👎 Very disappointing to see this vaccine passport proposal

🛑 No evidence published to justify it

🛑 No commitment to a Parliamentary vote in advance

Vaccine passports are *still*:

❌ Pointless
❌ Damaging
❌ Discriminatory https://t.co/Kq2wQcoSKD

Health secretary Sajid Javid said earlier this month that while there is “no single trigger”, England’s ‘Plan B’ will be enacted if the data suggests the NHS is likely to come under “unsustainable pressure”.
