<p>We want COP26 to be a physical event in Glasgow this November. That is the basis
on which we are planning, and we are ensuring that we are exploring all measures to
ensure the event is safe for participants and safe for the people of Glasgow.</p><p>We
are working through the process to determine what mitigation measures are needed to
safely host COP26, including for people from countries on our amber and red lists
at the time of the conference. We will continue to work with colleagues in the Scottish
Government, Glasgow City Council, Public Health bodies and the UN to explore the most
appropriate measures; including testing, quarantine, vaccines and other COVID security
measures. As announced at the G7 Summit, in order to enable more representatives to
attend safely the UK will work to provide vaccines to those accredited delegations
who would be unable to get them otherwise.</p><p>We will provide delegates and the
House with an update in due course.</p>
