Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the UK, and we must do more to ensure that more prostate cancers are caught early.

The UK is a global leader in protecting our seas, the ocean and marine life, working with counterparts both in the UK and overseas.

Thank you for contacting me about conversion therapy.

I am clear that no one in this country should be harmed or harassed for who they are and any attempts at so-called 'conversion therapy' are abhorrent. Such practices are deeply harmful and simply do not work.
