MPs have returned to Parliament for a vote on the new lockdown law which applies to England as of Wednesday.
They were due to be on their Christmas recess until 11 January, but the government recalled them to debate the change in regulations.
The lockdown has already come into force, but some Tory backbenchers are critical of the decision.
However, with Labour saying it will support the measures, the law enforcing them is likely to be approved.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson told MPs - many of whom are participating remotely - that the vaccine programme provided a means of escape from the current lockdown, with 1.3 million people in the UK already receiving jabs.
