Business of the House

Business question from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
May I tell the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath), who queried the decision of my county council, Leicestershire, to put satnav on roadside mowers, that its activities often verge on the ridiculous? May I add my support to the comments of the hon. Member for South-West Norfolk (Christopher Fraser) about prostate cancer? It is prostate cancer awareness month and the Prostate Cancer Charity has launched the "Prostate cancer—it matters!" campaign, which draws attention to the fact that 100 men a day are diagnosed with prostate cancer and that one man an hour dies of it. Of all the common cancers, it is the worst in terms of patient experience of the NHS. We urgently need a better, new generation test to differentiate between aggressive cancers and more slow-growing ones. May we have a debate on the matter, which is important for many people in every constituency throughout the nation?
