answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2022 answer text <p>In the previous response of 28 October 2021, we incorrectly stated that neither the Department nor the former Public Health England had any collaborative, commercial or contractual links to the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) or its subsidiaries. However, BGI Genomics were awarded a call-off contract in August 2021. This contract lapsed on 14 November 2021 and no further contract with BGI has been let. We have corrected the record via a Written Ministerial Statement (<a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2022-04-27/hcws793" target="_blank">HCWS795</a>) on 27 April.</p><p>Through the National Microbiology Framework, there is a transactional relationship with this supplier. No specific security implications were identified in the procurement, other than standard provisions relating to the General Data Protection Regulation and information and digital security, which are provisioned for in the contracts. In the National Microbiology Framework, a procuring body may include additional security requirements as appropriate for that procurement.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 15/07/2022 10:42:42 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield previous answer version 2243 answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar answering member 4362
