2:09Now PlayingThe UK reported on Tuesday it had passed 29,000 COVID-19 deaths - the second-highest death toll after the United States, surpassing that of Italy.
UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said at the daily coronavirus media briefing in London 29,427 people have now died, an increase of 693 on the previous day.
Raab told the media it was too early to make international comparisons as other countries may not be measuring fatalities in the same way.
He said the UK's Office of National Statistics was a "world leader" in gathering statistics and that the government wanted "full transparency" in relation to data collected in relation to the pandemic.
"We are confident and we believe that it's only if we get the full transparency that we'll be in the best place to tackle this virus," he said.
