Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Nigel Evans)
The time limit in the Queen’s Speech debate following this statement will start at five minutes, but I am sure it will go down thereafter.
Mr Tobias Ellwood (Bournemouth East) (Con)
I look forward to welcoming my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State when he visits the vaccination hub in Bournemouth. Today’s partial liberation of covid restrictions will be welcome up and down the country, and not least in Bournemouth where hospitality and tourism are so important, but the development of yet another mutation in the Indian variant illustrates that until this pandemic is brought under control globally, other more deadly mutations may develop. Does my right hon. Friend agree that this is a shared global adversary? Will it be raised at the G7 summit, and when does he think our spare vaccine capacity can start to be directed abroad?
