The Prime Minister
I thank my right hon. Friend very much, but I think the evidence is clear that healthcare professionals should get vaccinated.
Richard Burgon (Leeds East) (Lab)
The rush to remove the requirement for masks, including on public transport, will cause people to fall ill and die unnecessarily. Is this not all about saving the Prime Minister’s political skin, not protecting public health? What a moral failure and what a bad way to go.
The Prime Minister
I notice that the hon. Gentleman is at variance with his Front Bench on that point, and not for the first time. I do not think he is right. I think that we should trust in the judgment of the British people, and that is what we are going to do.
