Parliamentary time for cancer treatment debate

Early day motion 432, tabled 27 February 2024 by Daisy Cooper (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 6 members.

That this House calls on the Government to drop the general debate whose subject is yet to be announced on 4 March 2024 and bring forward instead a motion in the name of the Liberal Democrats, doing so in recognition that the party should be allowed to do so as the fourth-largest party in the House of Commons, third-largest party in the UK by vote-share and following the precedents set in previous Parliaments, to debate ways to support the 36% of patients currently waiting longer than 62 days to begin cancer treatment, and the merits of introducing a legal right to a two-month cancer treatment guarantee.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 1.
