James Sunderland urges Government to look at vaccination stamps in passports to get people flying again

Following the Prime Minister’s statement to the House of Commons on the Government’s covid winter plan, James Sunderland calls on the PM to look at having vaccination stamps in passports, or an equivalent scheme, to enable international travel to resume which is vital for the recovery of our aviation, hospitality, leisure and business sectors.

International travel is vital for our recovery, not least in the aviation, hospitality, leisure and business sectors. Has the Prime Minister given any thought to the utility of having vaccination stamps in passports, or an equivalent scheme, to get our planes off the ground?

The Prime Minister

I can assure my hon. Friend that the Secretary of State for Transport is looking at all such schemes. I am sure he will have heard what my hon. Friend has said loud and clear. He will be making some announcements very shortly.
