Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Dan Jarvis (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 26 October 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill.

With the leave of the House, and on behalf of my hon. Friend the Member for Coventry North West (Mr Robinson) as well as myself, I thank all Members who have contributed to and supported this important debate. We have seen the House at its very best with Members from right across the political spectrum working together to deliver meaningful, real change on behalf of their constituents. I take this opportunity to extend formally my thanks to my Front-Bench colleagues for their support, to the Minister, of course, to the Government, and to all the officials who have made this possible.

The Bill is a welcome measure that will make a huge difference to thousands of people right around our country. Max and Keira’s law will save lives and give hope to many. I look forward to the Bill receiving Royal Assent at the earliest available opportunity. As many Members have said, this is only part of the process by which we increase awareness and encourage the most important conversations around organ donation. I thank all Members who contributed to the debate and supported the Bill’s safe passage through the House. It is much appreciated.

Question put and agreed to.

Bill accordingly read the Third time and passed.
