Care home workers will be required by law to get the Covid jab under historic legal change agreed by PM and Health Sec.
I’ve been leaked details of a Covid-O cabinet committee paper. Last time new UK law mandated jabs was the 1800s. Thread.1/ telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/…
The paper was written by the Health Dep and discussed in Covid-O last week. Details shared with me by numerous sources.
It’s around 15 pages long and titled: ‘Vaccination as a condition of deployment in adult social care and health setting’. 2/
This is understood to be the paper’s key line. Makes clear Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock “have agreed” to change the law so social care workers are required to get Covid vaccines. 3/
Telegraph understands the following proposals are coming from the Home Office...
1) A ‘one stop shop’ for people appealing deportation. Means all claims must be made at one point rather than one after the other. Would quicken legal process.
2) Reforms to the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Specifically tightening the definition of modern slavery.
Home Office believes it is being used too often by people who legitimately should be deported.
(Others - including perhaps @theresa_may who championed the law - may disagree)
