Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what cost her Department will assign to excess donated vaccines, in the context of the absence of agreement in OECD DAC to reach an agreement on the pricing of surplus vaccine dose donations.

The Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Secretariat has now provided guidance for reporting donations of excess COVID-19 vaccine doses in 2021 in Official Development Assistance (ODA). The UK is considering this guidance together with our other commitments and obligations, and is actively engaging with the OECD's DAC Secretariat on valuing Covid-19 vaccines in ODA in 2021. The DAC Secretariat will review their methodology for donations in 2022.
