James Murray

Labour (Co-op) — Ealing North

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 June 2026

Debate

Pathways Study: Puberty Suppression

Contribution

The hon. Lady refers, apparently with some certainty, to what she considers to be the clinical outcomes of these puberty blockers on young people. I have to say, with all due respect, that I would trust Dr Cass’s conclusion more than the hon. Lady’s, which is that there is not evidence about the risks or benefits of these medications. That is exactly why Dr Cass was so clear in recommending a trial to find that clinical evidence, because that is the basis on which we can take those decisions.
