Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the Government supports the OECD proposal to value donations of excess covid-19 vaccine doses in Official Development Assistance at 6.72 USD.

The OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) has made a proposal on valuing donations of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. Discussions are ongoing between DAC members, and within government. As yet, there is no consensus amongst DAC members. We are asking for certain clarifications on the proposal before making a final decision on whether or not to support this proposal.
