Labour (Co-op) — Leeds Central and Headingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 June 2026

Debate

Brain Cancer

Contribution

My constituent Emma has long been committed to achieving justice for people with brain cancer and has been writing to me about it ever since I became an MP. She has highlighted the survival rate of 12.9%. As we have already heard, research funding in this area is very low, at just 1% to 2% of overall cancer research funding. Does my hon. Friend agree that we need to increase the research funding to improve that five-year survival rate?
