Kiss Goodbye To Breast Cancer Campaign

EDM number 842 in 1998-99, proposed by Judith Church on 19/07/1999.

That this House congratulates the research charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer and their partners Avon Cosmetics on their latest campaign Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer, which includes a petition calling on the Government to match pound for pound what charities invest in focused breast cancer research initiatives; notes that at the moment, charities fund around 75 per cent. of the breast cancer research bill in the United Kingdom, not including the contribution of the pharmaceutical industry; asks honourable Members and noble Lords to add their names to the petition and to support the campaign; and calls upon the Government to build on its commitment to combat cancer by increasing its funding for research.

This motion has been signed by a total of 145 MPs.
