Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 November 2020. It occurred during Urgent question on Armed Forces: Covid-19 Deployment.


Armed Forces: Covid-19 Deployment

May I put on record the fact that this response to the pandemic has demonstrated the United Kingdom at its best? My local regiment, 1st Battalion the Rifles, helped the Welsh ambulance service with testing and the Royal Welsh helped in Gloucester with the testing facility there, which I had the opportunity to visit. May I just probe the Minister a little further on the question the shadow Secretary of State and other Members asked about the vaccine situation? I think the Minister said that the MOD stood ready to help. May I ask if he has had any requests from civilian authorities to assist with vaccine roll-out and, if so, what those plans are?
