In the event of a European judge ruling that AstraZeneca must remove vaccine product from the UK to supply the EU, that's the point at which HMG can add the vaccine to the export ban schedule.

The EU may not believe in first come first served (at least, not when it didn't get there first) but the logic of greatest need shows pretty clearly that we have had the hardest time controlling the pandemic with social measures and must therefore rely most heavily on the vaccine.
