Dr Scott Arthur

Labour — Edinburgh South West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 26 February 2026

Debate

Eating Disorders Awareness Week

Contribution

You will not be surprised to hear that it is a pleasure to serve under you in the Chair, Ms Vaz. I thank the hon. Member for Bath (Wera Hobhouse) for the way she introduced the debate and for her leadership of the APPG on eating disorders. I join her in thanking Hope Virgo for all the work that she does. In many ways, eating disorders can be a hidden condition—even a secretive condition—but Hope really does give the topic the publicity that otherwise it would not get. Hope has been through a lot, and I would not wish what she has been through on anyone, but we are lucky that she is the campaigner she is.
