Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what the Government's plan is for redistributing covid-19 vaccine doses to other countries; and what the timescale is for that redistribution.

Ending the COVID-19 pandemic requires a global solution, which is why the UK is leading efforts for global equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. This includes a £548 million contribution to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment to ensure that 92 low and middle income countries are able to access COVID-19 vaccines.

It is too early to determine if the UK will have excess vaccine supply. We continue to work with our international partners to drive the global response and save lives.
