Lord Trefgarne (Con)
My Lords, is it not the case that some vaccines need to be distributed in refrigerated facilities, and is this not a restricting consideration?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon (Con)
My noble friend is quite right. That is why the Government have worked directly with key countries, because the issue is one not just of supply but of final supply, in terms of the final hour of the vaccine. So, we are working with key countries, including South Africa, to ensure a whole of supply chain response to that issue.
