Highlands and Islands MSP and Shadow Business Minister Jamie Halcro Johnston said:
“I welcome the decision not to extend the vaccine passport scheme at this point, but the continued uncertainty around the Scottish Government’s intentions presents huge practical challenges to our hospitality sector, and comes at an important time of year for local businesses. And while the decision to listen to Scottish Conservative calls for proof of a negative test to allow entry instead of a vaccine passport is also welcome, we didn’t hear anything from Nicola Sturgeon on how she will make sure this system is reliable and robust."
“This is another Covid update from the Scottish Government which asks as many questions as it answers”.
