"Covid-19: Labour calls for law to stop anti-vaccination fake news online
Labour is calling on the government to bring in emergency laws to "stamp out dangerous" anti-vaccine content online.
In a letter, Labour said there should be financial and criminal penalties for social media firms that do not remove anti-vaccine fake news.
It comes after this week's news that the world's first effective Covid vaccine - made by Pfizer and BioNTech - had seen positive early results.
The government said it took the issue "extremely seriously".
It said it had "secured a major commitment" from social media companies Facebook, Twitter and Google to tackle anti-vaccine content."
