PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Parliamentary time for cancer treatment debate (27 February 2024)

Motion Details

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.
