Britain won't publish vaccine supply data for security reasons - junior minister

Britain will not publish vaccine supply data for security reasons, a junior minister said, although the Scottish government said it would do so.

"The government isn't hiding anything at all and my understanding is that that's for security reasons," prisons minister Lucy Frazer told the BBC on Friday when asked why the government was not publishing the data.

The publication of such data could intensify a row between the European Union and drug companies such as AstraZeneca over delayed deliveries.
