Owners of pubs may have the right to refuse entry to someone who has not been vaccinated, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said.

“I think that that’s the kind of thing [vaccine passports] that may be up to individual publicans, it may be up to the landlord,” said Johnson, speaking to a group of MPs from the Liaison Committee on 24 March.
