UK will not publish vaccine contract due to national security risk -junior minister

Britain will not publish the vaccine contract it has with AstraZeneca because it would risk national security, a junior minister said on Friday. When asked why the government was worried about the publication of the contract on LBC Radio, British prisons minister Lucy Frazer said: "Where it is appropriate for the public to be informed we have done so but if that risks national security for any reason, of course, we should not."

Pressed further on the risk to national security, she said: "Well, that is my understanding."
