Questions for Written Answers

Debate between Earl Howe and Lord Taylor of Warwick

Monday 22nd February 2021 Lords Chamber

[Lord Taylor of Warwick (Non-Afl) [V]]

My Lords, a timely answer can be a strong enhancer of government policy. Will the Government further commit to using Written Answers as one of the important messages to counter any myths that anti-Covid vaccinations are dangerous to health, especially since these myths exist in certain sections of the BAME communities?

[Earl Howe (Con)]

The noble Lord raises a very important point. I can tell him that Ministers use a number of vehicles to dispel myths about the Covid emergency and the vaccination programme in particular. I thank him for his question, which I am sure will resonate with colleagues in the Department of Health and more widely.
