Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Paul Sweeney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 February 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill.

Will my hon. Friend recognise the great strides that the Labour party in Scotland has made in trying to bring in legislation on opt-out organ donation there? It is unfortunate that the Scottish National party blocked the progress of a Bill from Anne McTaggart MSP in the last session of the Parliament, but there is still hope, because a private Member’s Bill is progressing through the Scottish Parliament. We hope to have Labour and cross-party support to see such legislation progress in Scotland, as well as in Wales and England.
