Thousands of Britons who have already received their coronavirus jab will be offered a vaccine passport in a trial taking place this month after ministers flip-flopped over the controversial policy.
The passport, created by biometrics firm iProov and cybersecurity firm Mvine, will be issued as a free app and will allow users to prove digitally if they have had their first or second jab - or no jab at all.
Though the Department of Health said there were no plans to introduce vaccine passports, the Government s own science and research funding agency Innovate UK has already pumped £75,000 into the project.
Plans to have state-of-the-art defence kit are still unaffordable despite a huge cash boost, according to the public spending watchdog.
The Ministry of Defence must make ‘tough decisions’ about its future equipment plans in the face of a funding black hole of up to £17.4 billion, it said.
For the fourth successive year the equipment plan - covering projects from jet fighters to frigates - has been labelled unaffordable by the National Audit Office.
Even the injection of £16.5 billion extra defence spending announced by Boris Johnson in November may not fill the hole as some of that four-year package will be spent on developing new capabilities not included in the plan.
