Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 November 2026

Debate

Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for his statement. Alongside CHOGM, the first ever global summit on eye health was held, bringing together world leaders to address the global challenge of avoidable sight loss. With more than 2 billion people worldwide living with sight loss, the challenge is clear: we must ensure that everyone has access to good-quality eye healthcare. Already, 41 countries have made this commitment, with pledges exceeding $1 billion. Now we need the UK, as a world leader in eye healthcare, also to make this commitment. Will my hon. Friend the Minister agree to meet me to discuss this?
