To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients with blood cancer have been denied funding for a second donor stem cell transplant due to the current NHS policy of not allowing patients to have a second transplant if they relapse under one year from...
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many patients with blood cancer have been denied funding for a second donor stem cell transplant due to the current NHS policy of not allowing patients to have a second transplant if they relapse under one year from...
NHS England does not routinely collect or hold data on the number of patients with blood cancer who do not meet the eligibility criteria set out in its clinical commissioning policies, the numbers who have not been funded to receive treatment under the current commissioning policy, or the number of patients whose disease relapsed under 12 months of a first allogeneic-hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
NHS England recognises the seriousness of relapse following a stem cell transplant and is actively reviewing the current policy, working with clinicians, patients, and charities to assess the latest available evidence. A revised draft policy is expected to undergo stakeholder testing in the new year, with final decisions currently anticipated in late spring 2027.
The ongoing review will consider the latest peer-reviewed clinical evidence, alongside clinical benefit, patient safety, affordability, and the opportunity cost of any new investment. Any changes to commissioning arrangements will be considered through NHS England's established policy development process, which includes an independent evidence review, expert clinical input, patient and public involvement, and stakeholder testing. Stakeholders will have the opportunity to comment on the draft policy through a formal stakeholder testing process before any final decisions are made.

That this House gives its unreserved support to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), its many local lifeboat stations around the country and the thousands of staff and volunteers that are involved in upholding the charity’s long-held aims and values; recognises that their job is to rescue those in danger without fear or favour, saving lives based on need rather than engaging in political debates; is appalled that the RNLI has recently been the target of unwarranted and unacceptable public criticism, including protests outside its headquarters in the Poole constituency, the abuse of local volunteers and the intimidatory tactics whereby personal addresses of volunteers have been published online, alongside accusations that they are traitors; believes that the RNLI represents the very best of Britain and that criticism of the charity is unpatriotic; and calls on hon. Members of both Houses to stand in solidarity with the charity and the selfless work of all who are involved.

I wholeheartedly welcome the Foreign Secretary’s statement, both its content and its tone. I would like to ask about his discussions with our colleagues and allies in other countries who are looking to implement similar sanctions. The Netherlands Government announced their intention to reimpose sanctions in July and will implement...

That this House celebrates Richard Pengelly and his 37 years of dedicated service to the House of Commons; notes that he began his parliamentary career in the Pugin Room before becoming one of the best-known and best-loved faces behind the bar in the Strangers’ Bar; recognises that his warmth, kindness, humour, quick wit and ever-present smile have brightened the days of countless Members, staff and visitors over the years; further recognises that, whether serving a drink or sharing a joke, Richard has been a constant source of good cheer and embodies the very best of the parliamentary community; applauds his legendary enthusiasm for the Eurovision Song Contest, which has brought much enjoyment to colleagues over the years; thanks him for the friendships he has forged and the memories he has helped create over nearly four decades; and concludes by awarding him the parliamentary equivalent of douze points for a truly outstanding career, with every good wish for the future.

Order. The hon. Member should not take my views for granted in this sort of debate—he can speak for himself, I am sure.

We now move to the Front-Bench spokespeople. They are entitled to speak for at least 10 minutes each, but given that we are not particularly time-constrained, I will leave it with them to make a judgment on that.

This House notes that the zero rate of VAT on energy saving materials introduced by the last government in 2022 is due to end on 31st March 2027; believes that this zero VAT rate makes the installation of such materials more affordable and so encourages householders to install them, resulting in less consumption of energy, less emissions of CO2 and lower fuel bills; and calls on HM Treasury to announce expeditiously that the zero VAT rate will be extended beyond 31st March 2027.

When he produces his further strategy on procurement in the autumn, will he try to get a joined-up approach to procurement across Government, as that is important to our industrial strategy? The MOD is investing £1...
