LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) - Britain set the record straight
with the European Union over suggestions that London banned the
export of COVID vaccines at a meeting with the bloc's
representative and in parliament, a spokesman for Prime Minister
Johnson said on Wednesday.
"The prime minister has addressed it directly ... the
foreign secretary has spoken to the EU delegation
representative, so we have made the point and set the record
straight," the spokesman told reporters.
Asked how many vaccine doses Britain had exported, he said:
"The movement of vaccines and their components into and out of
the UK is driven by contractual obligations that vaccine
suppliers have to their customers."
He declined to comment on supplies or contractual
arrangements.
