Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 November 2026

Debate

Cancer (Reporting and Strategy) Bill

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for mentioning Walk the Walk, which is a most fantastic charity. I did a walk with it this year, and there is another walk on 15 May next year—perhaps Members might want to join me on it. Before covid, that charity always had quite a number of MPs join in the walk; since covid, it has had hardly any. My hon. Friend’s point about reducing the age for screening is absolutely valid. In my view, rejecting this Bill would be a mistake—a mistake for the Prime Minister and for the Secretary of State. It would mean that the Prime Minister’s warm words are, sadly, just words. Cancer patients deserve more than promises; they deserve transparency, accountability, and confidence that commitments made today will be honoured tomorrow. I commend the Bill to the House.
