Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many and what proportion of the vaccines that the UK has promised to poorer nations have been delivered as at 18 October 2021; and if he will make a statement.

As of 18 October the UK has donated and delivered over 10 million AstraZeneca doses to different 30 countries. The Prime Minister has committed the UK to donate 100 million vaccines by June 2022, of which 30 million will be donated by the end of 2021. We exceeded our target to donate 5 million vaccines by the end of September and remain on track to deliver on our target by the end of the year.
