Good afternoon,
I am writing to highlight a new Government consultation regarding Vaccine Passports.
This relates to the Government's "Plan B" of its COVID-19 Response: Autumn and Winter Plan 2021.
I would encourage all businesses that may -potentially- be affected to have a close look at the Government's Proposal for mandatory COVID certification in a Plan B scenario, and make their views are known via the official consultation link here: https://consultations.dhsc.gov.uk/61497f68de8e5f098521be3a
Please bear in mind that the deadline for this consultation is the 11th October 2021 (ie Monday week after), so if you plan to make a submission please do it sooner rather than later. I would also appreciate it if you could provide me with a copy of your consultation response which I will take into account.
As your local Member in Parliament, I want to ensure that the views of businesses in our area are heard by policymakers in key Government Departments. Please do not hesitate to share this with your business contacts if this is of interest.
