Whitehall sources suggested the EU could give preferential treatment to member states when it came to vaccine allocation. The same sources also said the EU initially demanded Britain drop its support for vaccine development in this country, such as the trials currently going on at Oxford university and Imperial College.
But an EU source said on Friday that claim was "not true and misleading", adding that the EU will "always promote all means that would result in the quick finding and production of a successful vaccine".
The source also rejected allegations that the UK would be discriminated against, saying doses would be "distributed according to population".

The UK would be free to continue its own work on vaccine development ..
I wonder who the "Whitehall source" is?
All together now ..
