Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of recent findings by scientists at Eotvos Lorand University and the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hungary that the COVID-19 outbreak may have originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, China.
The Department has not made an assessment. The United Kingdom supports a timely, transparent, evidence-based, and expert-led study into the origins of COVID-19.
