Written question asked by Navendu Mishra (Labour) on Tuesday, 12 July 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 15 July 2022 (named day). It was answered by Penny Mordaunt (Conservative) on Thursday, 21 July 2022 on behalf of the Department for International Trade.


TRIPS Agreement: Vaccination

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the Government's position on a TRIPS waiver at the World Health Organisation on the global distribution of vaccines.

Answer

I refer the Hon. Member for Stockport to the answer I gave to the Hon. Member for Hayes and Harlington on July 2022 (UIN: 25725). I would also like to note that discussions on a TRIPS Decision were held at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and not at the World Health Organisation (WHO).
