Holyrood votes to back controversial plans to introduce a vaccine passport scheme in Scotland.

68 MSPs voted for the government motion, with 55 against.

The move will mean that only people who have been fully vaccinated will be allowed into nightclubs, major sporting events and many concerts and festivals.

The Scottish government says the plan is designed to allow large events to go ahead as safely as possible.

Details of the proposals were only published by the government on Thursday morning - just hours before the vote.
