Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps the Government is taking to increase the production of promising Ebola drugs and vaccines and to negotiate the prices of those drugs and vaccines.

DFID is co-funding clinical trials to find a safe vaccine for Ebola as well as providing critical care on the ground. Britain is a world leader in medical research and mobilising our unique strengths to find a vaccine could be pivotal to containing Ebola and preventing future outbreaks.
