Asked on the BBC's The Andrew Marr Show if Britons will 'get Christmas' this year, Mr Javid said: "Yes, of course we get Christmas and the New Year." Mr Javid told viewers he is 'not anticipating any more lockdowns' but added that governments could take 'anything off the table'. Prime Minister Boris Johnson will next week unveil the government's 'winter plan', and it's expected that he will say vaccines can be the main defence against Covid-19 if cases surge over the coming months. It comes as Mr Javid announced plans to introduce vaccine passports in England for nightclubs and other crowded venues have been scrapped. As of 9am on Sunday, there had been a further 29,173 lab-confirmed Covid-19 cases in the UK, the Government said.
