THE Scottish Government have published their evidence paper which suggests the vaccine certification scheme should be extended.
The 70-page paper outlines a proposed change to the scheme which would include further venues being added to the list of places where proof of vaccination is required.
The expansion would see ‘cinemas, theatres, pubs and some other licensed and hospitality premises’ such as cafe's inside supermarkets fall under the scope of areas where vaccination proof is required.
The Tories, Liberal Democrats, and Labour are likely to oppose the scheme expansion, but with the SNP’s support from the Greens, it may just make its way through parliament.
Now, the Herald wants to know what you think.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
