The motion
That this House congratulates the research scientists who discovered the first vaccine proven to prevent the development of cervical cancer in women; notes that cervical cancer claims the lives of 1,000 women each year in the UK and leads to early hysterectomies, thus ending women's hopes of having children; recognises that the vaccine has the potential over time to end the burden of cervical smears, colposcopies and related treatment; and looks forward to the early availability of the first vaccine against the causes of cancer.
