Health Secretary Matt Hancock says there is a "high degree of confidence" that vaccines work against the Indian Covid variant, but that it can "spread like wildfire" among those who are unvaccinated.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock says that ministers "haven't ruled out" ending mask-wearing requirements on June 21st – but neither has the Government ruled out introducing domestic vaccine passports at this time.
If the NHS app is going to be used as the vaccine passport app, is the NHS Test and Trace app going to be withdrawn, as Matt Hancock promised Harriet Harman?
The Government has been accused of "cronyism", as it has emerged that the Health Secretary owns shares in an NHS contract-winning firm with which his sister is also heavily involved.
Why is it that pubs and restaurants cannot open at the same time as "non-essential" shops? Matt Hancock has been ordered to the High Court to justify this decision, following legal action by Sacha Lord and Hugh Osmond.
