Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, for what reason Innovate UK has decided not to exercise its right to join the board of the Vaccine Manufacturing and Innovation Centre.

Innovate UK didn’t have the right to appoint board members to VMIC Ltd's Board of Directors. Innovate UK and the Vaccines Taskforce did attend VMIC Ltd's Board meetings as Observers.
