Britain is working on using the existing National Health Service (NHS) coronavirus app to show that people have received their Covid-19 vaccine for international travel, Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said on Wednesday

"It will be the NHS app that is used for people when they book appointments with the NHS ... to be able to show that you've had a vaccine or that you've had testing, and I'm working internationally with partners across the world, to make sure that that system can be internationally recognised," he said.

He told Sky News he would be chairing a meeting of G7 transport ministers from the G7 next week to discuss the plan further.
