Parliament passed the Plan B COVID-19 measures, which involve regulations on compulsory face masks in more indoor settings, Covid passes and compulsory vaccinations for healthcare workers.

A total of 127 MPs defied the Prime Minister's so-called "vaccine passport" scheme, which was passed by 369 votes to 126. Of these, almost 100 were Conservatives, including Bassetlaw MP Brendan Clarke-Smith.

Under the planned restrictions, people wanting to attend large events will require either two doses of a vaccination - which will become three after a "reasonable" amount of time - or a recent negative lateral flow test.
