Covid passport app would need to be UK-wide, says Mark Drakeford

The UK government said the NHS app - which provides a means to book appointments in England and is not currently used in Wales - is being considered as part of a "digital route" to demonstrate individuals' "Covid status".Under current plans the UK government may resume overseas travel for people in England from 17 May - with a traffic light system to assess the risk of travelling to specific countries.

"That development has to involve officials of governments across the United Kingdom, and it has to have an outcome that allows the whole of the United Kingdom to act together on this matter." "If they're required for international travel, and you're travelling on a British passport, then anyone who lives in the United Kingdom should have equal access to the facilities that will be needed to allow that travel to happen," added Mr Drakeford.

On 6 May, people will vote to elect 60 Members of the Senedd . The party that can command the support of a majority of MSs will form the Welsh government.MSs pass laws on aspects of life in Wales such as health, education and transport - and have some tax powers.Anyone who lives in Wales, is registered to vote and aged 16 or over on 6 May is eligible.The Welsh Liberal Democrats said it opposed "any form of passport of certificate for accessing venues or services".

Good move.

I don’t see this app ever working - the government can’t get simple things right let alone an app😂
