Text

First, I apologise to the House that I do not have a physical petition to present this morning, owing to the petitioners' flight logistics. The petition is on behalf of Pancreatic Cancer UK and its members in Northern Ireland. Each year in Northern Ireland, some 300 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Sadly, 200 of them will not survive the remainder of the year. With your indulgence, Mr Speaker, when I receive the petition, I will present it to your office.
