Labour — Mitcham and Morden

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 March 2025

Debate

Rare Cancers Bill

Contribution

I have been to see the MHRA numerous times and have asked about repurposed drugs. Many pharmaceutical companies are worried about repurposing drugs; the fear is that if glioblastoma research were to affect the main cause for having the drug, that might make the drug less successful. We have beseeched the MHRA to treat glioblastoma separately. Would the hon. Lady support such a move?
