"We shouldn't be keeping anything like that in place for a second longer than is absolutely necessary."
Asked whether Labour would support scrapping PCR tests for travel, shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth told Sky News his party would"have to see what the proposal is when it comes before parliament". Meanwhile, on the use of vaccine passports, Mr Javid began his Sunday interviews by saying they would only be introduced if there was"no alternative".to gain entry to nightclubs and other large events in England"I think if we went down the road of vaccine passports or vaccine certification, as it is sometimes called, that is a big decision for any government to make," he told Sky's Trevor Phillips.
The health secretary said rising vaccination rates needed considering when making"a final decision", but that"I hope we can avoid it". He told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show:"What I can say is that we have looked at it properly and while we should keep it in reserve as a potential option, I am pleased to say that we will not be going ahead with plans for vaccine passports."
