MP's pledge for cancer campaign
Drive to push up UK cancer survival rates
South West Beds MP Andrew Selous has joined hundreds of people in signing up to a new cancer campaign.
Cancer Research UK's Cancer Commitment aims to make the UK's cancer survival rates among the best in Europe within 10 years.
Mr Selous said: "I am delighted to pledge my support for Cancer Research UK's vital campaign. Cancer remains the public's number one fear.
"With a concerted effort from the next Parliament, we can give hope to millions of people affected by cancer."
In the past 30 years, the UK's 10-year survival rates have doubled, but still lag behind the best-performing countries in Europe, which include Sweden, Norway and Finland.
John Spiers, head of public affairs and campaigning at Cancer Research UK, said: "To consign today's cancer challenges to tomorrow's history books, we must act now. Our thousands of scientists and our millions of supporters are hoping to see MPs in the next Parliament step up to the challenge."
