The Liberal Democrats are calling on the Government to finally rule out the illiberal, anti-business vaccine passports once and for all after they were included as part of “Plan B” in the Coronavirus winter plan.
The Liberal Democrats have also slammed the Government for flip-flopping 10 times on Covid passports from November 2020 to their latest announcement today.
The winter plan states that in the event of a Covid surge, vaccine passports would be legally required at all nightclubs, indoor settings with 500 or more people, outdoor settings with 1000 or more people, and anywhere with 10,000 people or more.
Commenting Liberal Democrat Home Affairs spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said: “It is time for the Conservatives to end their chaotic flip-flopping and rule out these illiberal, unworkable vaccine passports once and for all.
“For months ministers have chosen weasel words over meaningful action, needlessly creating chaos and confusion among businesses by threatening to introduce these passports.
“After 10 U-turns in one year, the Government must come to their senses and scrap this unnecessary measure.”
