The Rare Cancers Bill, a Private Members' Bill brought forward by Scott Arthur, will take place next week in the House of Commons – on Friday 14ᵗʰ March – and we need you to contact your MP and ask for their support in attending and casting their vote.
If passed, the Rare Cancers Bill will:
1. Provide greater accountability, facilitating collaboration and long-term coordination for the UK’s research landscape.
2. Allow improvements to regulations to support the development of treatments for rare and less common cancer treatments.
3. Enable more clinical trials to take place in the UK – leading to real outcomes for patients.
Brain Tumour Research played a key role in development of this Bill, helping shape it into a proposal that could drive tangible change for patients across the UK.
Now is the time to turn support into action and ensure this vital legislation becomes law. For the Rare Cancers Bill to move forward, it needs at least 100 MPs to vote yes – and that’s where you come in. Every MP counts, and your voice can make the difference.
You can write to your MP, asking them to attend, using this quick-and-easy template. The more MPs we get on board, the closer we come to real change for those affected by brain tumours.
