Up to 75 Conservative MPs are expected to rebel against the proposals, which will be voted on in the House of Commons this afternoon.
The purpose of the new rules according to the explanatory note is "to impose obligations on those organising certain events, or managing certain venues, to take reasonable measures to ensure that they do not admit any person to such events, or venues, unless the person concerned has been fully vaccinated or has tested negative for coronavirus within the last 48 hours".
If voted, it would come into place from 6am tomorrow.
The new rules would see venues expected to check if a person has either received a negative test no more than 48 hours before the event, or completed "a course of two doses of authorised vaccine" - with the second dose received at least two weeks before the event.
Venues will be able to apply to their local authority to request specific exemptions against checking every person if they believe doing so could endanger the safety of any person attending.
For example, if checkpoints cannot be set up far enough away from entrances to avoid large crowds building up.
Local Conservative MP of North Milton Keynes, Ben Everitt said he will be voting for negative test or vaccination proof for entry to some.
He also said he will be voting for Mandatory vaccination for NHS workers as well as increased mask wearing.
Ben Everitt says: "What we will be voting on is for some venues to require a proof of a negative test," He continues: "Or if you don't want to do a negative test then proof of vaccination."
He says; " This is what is being referred to as a vaccine passport but in explaining it like that, it clearly isn't, it's about having a test to make sure you don't have the virus."
