Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Georgia Gould and Anneliese Midgley

Monday 20th October 2025 Commons Chamber

I know how much expertise went into that, and how many conversations there were with parents; there is so much rich information in it. I agree that the partnership with health is essential, and that is something I am focused on.
