Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans he has to introduce a covid-19 vaccination certificate and negotiate it's recognition overseas to help the travel industry recover from the economic effects of the covid-19 pandemic.

Whilst deployment of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine would be a welcome step forward, we do not yet know what impact this will have on the current wave of the pandemic. We first need to improve understanding of the any potential vaccine in order to fully understand the potential of vaccine certificates as part of our efforts to recover from the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
