First weekend of enforcement of Scotland's vaccine passport scheme was 'unmitigated disaster', says night-time venue body
The first weekend of enforcement of Scotland's vaccine passport scheme was an "unmitigated disaster", according to a body representing night-time venues.
The Scottish Hospitality Group, which opposes the scheme, said the first real test this weekend had been "one of unmitigated disaster". The group said there was a "concerning number" of reports of staff being abused over rejections and queues which led to a "charged atmosphere". "Turning people away at the door - yes, I get the point to a degree - but all it's doing is sending them somewhere else, a dancefloor that has tables and chairs on it that does away with dancing," he told the BBC'sThe Scottish Conservatives said the scheme was "unworkable and unreasonable" with no financial support for businesses or their staff.
