Boris Johnson replies that the Labour leader has behaved "like a weather vane" on the subject over the last few months.
He says the government is getting on with dealing with the pandemic, while Labour continues to "play politics" and "snipe from the sidelines".
Image source, HoCSir Keir Starmer presses on, quoting comments from Home Secretary Priti Patel that officials are "washing through the data" and it may have to be imputed manually.
He now moves onto another issue, quoting more comments from Priti Patel who it has emerged suggested that she opposed the decision not to close the UK's borders early during the pandemic.
Why, Sir Keir adds, did the PM overrule his home secretary?

Image source, HoCThe PM says this is not just a technical issue and that as a result criminals are not being caught and victims are not getting justice.
He says 403,000 records have been either lost or deleted from the police database.
In response, the PM says the opposition leader has not listened to his response.
"It is outrageous that any data has been lost but are working to retrieve the data."
Image source, HoCSir Keir Starmer pushes the PM on the issue of Home Office records, asking how many convicted criminals have had their records deleted.
Boris Johnson says "we don't know" how many cases might have been disrupted.

The Labour leader starts by also adding his support for Joe Biden ahead of his inauguration as the 46th US President later.
"It is a victory for hope and hate and a real moment for optimism in the US and around the world."
He also praises those who are helping with the vaccination rollout and NHS workers.
He moves onto this first question about loss of 150,000 police records from the national police computer.
He asks how many criminal investigations have been damaged.
The PM says the Home Office is looking to rectify the episode and restore the data as soon as possible.

The big political event of the day is in Washington DC – but what will Boris Johnson have to say about Joe Biden’s inauguration as US President?
The PM had been one of the world leaders closest to President Trump, but in recent weeks Downing Street has been building bridges with Joe Biden’s team and Mr Johnson has made it clear he thinks they have a lot in common (not least sharing “Build Back Better” as their slogan to a post-pandemic recovery).
Closer to home, Labour have accused the prime minister for months of acting too slow when it came to Covid restrictions. Today, the Guido Fawkes website has published a video which appears to show the home secretary saying the UK’s borders should have been closed last March. You can expect that to come up in today’s session.
There’s also floods – many people will be nervously watching Storm Christoph and worrying about flooding. The government's emergency committee - Cobra - met yesterday to discuss it, but it’s another issue which might be brought up at PMQs.
Image source, EPAThe PM has just left No 10 Downing Street to head over to Parliament for PMQs.
Image source, PA MediaBoris Johnson could face questions about whether the home secretary was at odds with the government's decision on when to close UK borders when the pandemic hit last year.
The website Guido Fawkes has got hold of a copy of a video call where Priti Patel told Tory supporters she was an "advocate" of closing the borders 10 months ago.
Between mid March and June, the UK did not impose a ban or quarantine restrictions on international travellers arriving in the UK.
A Home Office spokesman said there were now "strong measures" at the border.
Image source, PA MediaWe’ll be listening to see if the prime minister is asked about Donald Trump’s departure from office today and the inauguration of Joe Biden as US President.
As Boris Johnson gears up to forge a relationship with the new US President, his predecessor, Theresa May accused him of “abandoning” the UK’s moral leadership on the world stage.
The ex-prime minister said Mr Johnson's decision to cut the overseas aid budget below 0.7% of national income had reduced the UK's global "credibility".
Writing in the Daily Mail, she warned the UK would be judged by its actions and not it’s rhetoric.

The "nasty party". A tag first used by Theresa May nearly 20 years ago, when she told her party from the conference platform that some members of the public saw them in that way.
It's a label that successive Conservative regimes have tried to escape since then, a label that fairly or not, stuck in the minds of many members of the public.
And it's a label that Boris Johnson, the prime minister with the first chunky Tory majority for years certainly won't want to revive.
That's why the warning from Dame Louise Casey, who until recently was advising his government, may hurt. She is not the first person to raise the alarm about the wisdom of removing the extra £20 a week in universal credit at the end of March from millions of families.
The opposition parties, some Tory MPs and even some ministers, are pushing for a change of heart.
But the association with that old tag is a public warning, not just about the practical impact the change would have at a time of enormous need, but spells out what even some ministers see as the political risk to the move.
Universal credit: UK has been 'torn to shreds' by coronavirus - Casey
As arguments rage over whether the government should continue the £20 a week increase in universal credit beyond the end of March, there’s been a stinging rebuke from the government's former homelessness advisor.
In an interview with the BBC, Dame Louise Casey warned the Tories risk the return of the “nasty party” image, if the additional support is withdrawn.
The former prime minister, Theresa May, coined the phrase two decades ago when she warned the party conference that some members of the public saw them this way.
The government says nothing has been decided as the opposition parties, some Tory MPs and even some ministers, are pushing for a change of heart.
