The country's major sporting bodies have written a joint letter to Boris Johnson and other party leaders collectively backing the idea of Covid passports to enable full stadiums this summer.
Leading figures in football, tennis, motor sport, rugby league and union have written to Boris Johnson and the leaders of all the main political parties spelling out the need for covid certification at events, for a limited period.
The FA, Scottish football, Premier League, EFL, Wimbledon, Lawn Tennis Association England and Wales Cricket Board and Silverstone have made clear that the return of crowds after May 17 is currently based on social distancing, which means venues will struggle to increase capacities above 25 per cent.
