9:15Now PlayingThe Defence Secretary has told LBC that if countries had shared more intelligence about coronavirus, then lives could have been saved.
Ben Wallace spoke to Nick Ferrari to reveal how the military have played a key role in the huge growth in coronavirus testing over the last week.
That was necessary to create the contact tracing programme which the government believe will allow us to come out of lockdown.
But he admitted the world has a problem with intelligence sharing around viruses and that will have cost lives He said: “It came from the other side of the world and all of us have been learning on the job.
"If we had known from the outset about the virus, of course more lives could have been saved. But I don't think it is a country-by-country problem.
“I think it is a massive problem around how we share intelligence on viruses and learning at pace."
