Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Cancer (Reporting and Strategy) Bill

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for bringing this important debate to the House. I want to emphasise his point that early diagnosis is so important when it comes to cancer. My mother-in-law got an early diagnosis and had 12 years of living, and living well, with cancer, yet my father-in-law got a late diagnosis and only had 12 weeks. Does the hon. Member agree that this absolutely states the importance of early diagnosis to deal with cancer and have a life while living with cancer?
