LEARN MOREA number of MPs are among the Tory rebels who voted against 'plan b' measures in last night's vote.
Downing Street’s plans include compulsory face masks, new rules on self isolation, mandatory vaccines for NHS staff and the introduction of Covid-19 passports – the latter being a huge stumbling block for backbenchers.
The rules were eventually passed and Covid-19 passes will come into effect from today (Wednesday) but 98 Tory MPs voted 'no' to this option.
Here's how Lincolnshire's MPs voted:
Victoria Atkins – Louth and Horncastle – Did not vote
Gareth Davies – Grantham and Stamford: Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – Aye; Mandatory vaccinations – Aye;
Sir John Hayes- South Holland and The Deepings: Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – No; Mandatory vaccinations – Aye;
Dr Caroline Johnson – Sleaford: Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – Aye; Mandatory vaccinations – Aye;
Sir Edward Leigh – Gainsborough: Face covering expansion – No; Covid passes – No; Mandatory vaccinations – No;
Karl McCartney – Lincoln: Face covering expansion – No; Covid passes – No; Mandatory vaccinations – No.
Holly Mumby-Croft – Scunthorpe: Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – No; Mandatory vaccinations – No
Lia Nici – Grimsby: Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – Aye; Mandatory vaccinations – Aye.
Martin Vickers – Cleethorpes: Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – Aye; Mandatory vaccinations – Aye;
Matt Warman – Boston: Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – Aye; Mandatory vaccinations – Aye.
Rutland and Melton MP:
Alicia Kearns - Face covering expansion – Aye; Covid passes – No; Mandatory vaccinations – No
The vote on self-isolation for vaccinated people who came into contact with Covid-19 infected people was unanimous and did not require a vote.
The measures, in more detail, are:
- Vaccine-only Covid passports becoming mandatory for entry to nightclubs and venues of more than 500 indoors, 4,000 unseated outdoors and any venue of more than 10,000 capacity. A negative lateral flow test would also be sufficient. – Passed by 369 votes to 126
- A retrospective vote on face masks becoming a legal requirement in most indoor venues – Passed by 441 votes to 41
- Vaccinated people who come into contact with Covid cases will now be asked to take daily lateral flow tests instead of isolating – Passed without a vote
- Compulsory Covid vaccines to be introduced for frontline NHS workers – Passed by 385 votes to 100
