Sir Edward Leigh

Conservative — Gainsborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 May 2025

Debate

Parkinson’s Awareness Month

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman must be congratulated on bringing forward this most important debate. The charity Parkinson’s UK organises voluntary support groups across the country—the nearest ones to Gainsborough are in Doncaster, Brigg and Scunthorpe. Does he think that the Government and local authorities can do more to encourage people to volunteer? Voluntary action across the country is quite uneven, so that might be one step forward.
