Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 June 2026

Debate

National Lung Cancer Screening Programme

Contribution

This debate is about lung cancer, but I noticed a story in the paper today about an increase of between 5% and 10% in the number of people who now have breast cancer. Does the Minister agree that that underlines the issue that while there are many advances in cancer, and we welcome all of them, there is still a long way to go?
