The latest figures show 35% of 18 to 30-year-olds have not had their first jab.

Currently nightclubs and other crowded venues are only encouraged to ask clubbers to show proof of vaccination, a negative test result or immunity.

But Boris Johnson said he was concerned by the continuing risk of transmission.

Could we see the introduction of Covid passports to other hospitality venues in England?

Newsnight’s Political Editor Nick Watt reports. Mark Urban is joined by Night Time Industries Association CEO Michael Kill and former Conservative health secretary, Jeremy Hunt.
