Wetherspoon boss Tim Martin has said vaccine passports would be 'the last straw' for struggling pubs and force bar staff into a 'bitter civil liberties war' with customers. The Prime Minister acknowledged the 'moral complexities' around a domestic vaccine passport scheme, on which the Government will set out more details in early April. Cabinet Office minister Michael Gove is considering what requirements hospitality venues could introduce as part of a review into the potential use of vaccine certificates. However, Mr Johnson admitted vaccine passports 'could have a role to play' but not until 'everybody' is offered a jab. He said that the Government should be prepared to subject any plans it has for vaccine passports to full parliamentary scrutiny.
