The government pledges to respond to all petitions that garner over 10,000 signatures and considers all petitions that reach 100,000 signatures for debate in parliament.<\/p>\n<p>The petition reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We want the Government to commit to not rolling out any e-vaccination status\/immunity passport to the British public. Such passports could be used to restrict the rights of people who have refused a Covid-19 vaccine, which would be unacceptable \u2026<\/p>\n<p>The Government must be completely clear to the public about the use of vaccine passports &amp; their intentions, which will undoubtedly affect societal cohesion &amp; effect [sic] the economic recovery of Great Britain this year &amp; into 2022.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As more than enough people have signed the petition, parliament is forced to debate the issue in the coming weeks.
