Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Kinnock and Siobhain McDonagh

Tuesday 21st October 2025 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Kinnock]

I do not know the details of that case, but if the hon. Gentleman writes to me, I can certainly come back to him on it. That sounds like a vital service that needs to be protected.

[Dame Siobhain McDonagh (Mitcham and Morden) (Lab)]

In the Secretary of State’s list of what has happened since his last oral questions, he failed to mention the appointment of our hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow South West (Dr Ahmed) as a Minister. He is particularly looking at life sciences. Without life sciences and drug trials, we will not see an improvement in outcomes for rare cancers. Can the Secretary of State make a statement on what will be done about rare cancers?
