The paper explores the legacy of the pandemic for future science-advice policy relationships by investigating how the UK government's engagement with ethical advice is organized institutionally. We provide an analysis of some key ethical moments in the UK Government response to the pandemic, and institutions and national frameworks which exist to provide ethical advice on policy strategies. The paper is one of the outputs of our international research project "Ethic and Expertise in Times of Crisis" (Bielefeld University and Birmingham University).
