Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many deaths, confirmed by coroner’s courts, have been directly caused by COVID-19 vaccinations.
Answered by Lord True - Shadow Leader of the House of Lords
The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.
A response to the noble Lord’s Parliamentary Question of 31 March is below and attached.

Dear Lord Framlingham,
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am replying to your Parliamentary Question asking how many deaths, confirmed by coroner’s courts, have been directly caused by COVID-19 vaccinations (HL7550).
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is responsible for publishing statistics on deaths registered in England and Wales[1]. Mortality statistics are compiled from information supplied when deaths are certified and registered as part of civil registration. National Records for Scotland[2] and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency[3] are responsible for publishing statistics on deaths registered in Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively.
Data on deaths registered due to COVID-19 vaccines causing adverse effects in therapeutic use (ICD-10 code U12.9) are available up to February 2022 and are reported in table 12 of Monthly Mortality Analysis[4]. According to data available up to February 2022, out of 124,132,189 COVID-19 vaccinations given to people in England and Wales[5], there have been 23 deaths registered[6] so far due to this cause. Each of these were certified by a coroner.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Sir Ian Diamond

[6]Data for 2021 and 2022 are provisional. There can be a delay between the date a death occurred and the date a death was registered; deaths certified by a coroner are often subject to longer-than-usual registration delays. More information can be found in our Impact of registration delays release.
Asked by: Lord Framlingham (Conservative - Life peer)
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total number of deaths in the UK in (1) 2015, (2) 2016, (3) 2017, (4) 2018, (5) 2019, and (6) 2020.
Answered by Lord True - Shadow Leader of the House of Lords
The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority. I have therefore asked the Authority to respond.
13 January 2021
Dear Lord Framlingham,
As National Statistician and Chief Executive of the UK Statistics Authority, I am responding to your Parliamentary Question asking what was the total number of deaths in the United Kingdom (UK) in (1) 2015, (2) 2016, (3) 2017, (4) 2018, (5) 2019, and (6) 2020 (HL11732).
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is responsible for publishing numbers of deaths registered in England and Wales. National Records Scotland (NRS) and Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) are responsible for publishing the number of deaths registered in Scotland and Northern Ireland respectively. The most recent annual figures published for the UK as a whole are for deaths registered in 2019[1]. Therefore, to produce a provisional figure for 2020, we have totalled provisional estimates published independently by the ONS[2], NRS[3] and NISRA[4].
Table 1 below provides the registered number of deaths from all causes in the UK for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Yours sincerely,
Professor Sir Ian Diamond

Notes:
1 Figures are based on deaths registered, rather than deaths occurring, in the specified calendar year.
2 Deaths statistics are compiled from information supplied when deaths are certified and registered as part of civil registration, a legal requirement.
3 Deaths should be registered within five days of the date of death with the exception of Scotland where deaths should be registered within eight days. There are however a number of situations when the registration of a death will be delayed, for example deaths referred to coroners.
4 The provisional estimates for 2020 are compiled using national estimates published by ONS, NRS and NISRA.
