Breast Cancer Awareness Month

EDM number 50 in 1996-97, proposed by Alice Mahon on 23/10/1996.

That this House congratulates the United Kingdom National Breast Cancer Coalition on their work to highlight their main aims during Breast Cancer Awareness month; agrees with the three main aims of the Coalition which are to have access to state of the art treatment for all women, to give research a higher priority and to secure increased Govenment spending on research into causes and prevention; calls for a full and influential role for women in decision making; and further supports the Coalition in their campaign to remove the upper age limit for screening, as early detection through screening is currently the best tool we have to save lives.

This motion has been signed by a total of 97 MPs.
