But an Oxford team of scientists, led by Howard Florey, carried out the first successful trials. With large-scale production difficult in the UK, they took their research to the United States, where drug companies expanded output.
Right now the plan is aspirational. It's too early to judge, if successful, or not."Successful" migration policy depends on what governments, regardless of their political stripe, set as their priority, says Ms Dennison.
In Denmark, the first priority is preserving the Danish social system. Italy prioritises offshoring the processing of migrants. While Hungary's prime minister Victor Orban wants strict migrant limits to protect Europe's "Christian roots", he claims.Overstaying visas is thought to be the most common way migrants enter and stay in Europe without legal papers.But recent UK governments have focused on high profile issues like people smugglers' boats crossing the Channel.
Ms Dennison thinks that's a tactical move. It's taking aim at visible challenges, to "neutralise public anger" she says, in the hope most voters will then support offering asylum to those who need it, and allow some foreign workers into the UK.It would be hard for Starmer to pursue the Denmark approach, she adds. After taking over from previous Conservative governments, he made a point of recommitting the UK to international institutions and international law.
So, does the 'ideal' migration plan exist, that balances voter concerns, economic needs and humanitarian values?
Martin Ruhs, deputy director of the Migration Policy Centre, spends a lot of time asking this question to voters across the UK and the rest of Europe, and thinks the public is often more sophisticated than their politicians."They resuscitated him and then on the way to taking him to resus they had to stop in the corridor and resuscitate him again."
