MPs voting against the Government’s proposals did so for a variety of reasons, but they centred around complaints the rules could infringe on people’s liberties. Many of Parliament’s self-proclaimed libertarians exist in the Conservative benches. The House of Commons has revealed they make up the bulk of today’s rebels, but some Labour members also defied the party whip.
What are MPs voting on tonight?
MPs are voting on several new Covid restrictions tonight, with vaccine “passports” headlining.
The Government has proposed people provide documents proving their vaccination status or a negative test on entry to some locations.
These would fall under a Covid pass scheme scheduled to debut tomorrow.
Other proposed regulations include:
- A mandate requiring people to wear a face-covering in most indoor settings, excluding hospitality venues
- Changes to self-isolation rules, with vaccinated people required to test themselves for a week after a contact tests positive
- A vaccine mandate for NHS frontline and social care staff from April 2022
The first vote, on the Covid mask extension, passed by 400 ayes to 41 noes, meaning there were 41 rebels.
The big ticket item of the night, vaccine passports, passed by 369 ayes to 126 noes.
The final vote on whether NHS workers should have to follow compulsory vaccinations also passed with 385 ayes to 100 noes.
