Business of the House

Contribution

Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine in my constituency is one of only two tropical medicine institutions in the UK and the longest established, dating back to 1898. It now faces £24 million of cuts over the next three years and significant redundancies, due in part to the reduction of research funding. At a time when infectious diseases continue to have a global impact, those cuts risk lifesaving research and the loss of highly skilled jobs. Will the Leader of the House grant time to debate the impact that cuts to research funding have on world-class institutions such as LSTM?
