Answer from Hansard

The Prime Minister

My hon. Friend speaks with great authority, and I am proud that Labour is protecting 500,000 children by rolling out chickenpox vaccines. In stark contrast, the man who wrote Reform’s health policy has made shocking and baseless claims that vaccines are linked to cancer, and that has been endorsed by the Reform leader, the hon. Member for Clacton (Nigel Farage)— [ Interruption. ] They laugh at it. These dangerous conspiracies cost lives, and this shows that Reform cannot be trusted with our NHS.
