Whether NHS England collects data on avoidable delays in the diagnosis of leukaemia.
Awaiting answer.
Conservative and Unionist Party MP for South Northamptonshire.

A steady, consistent Conservative backbencher, Sarah Bool has voted in lockstep with her party on every recorded division since entering Parliament in 2024 — 100% party alignment across 411 votes. Her most recent votes reflect standard Conservative opposition to Labour's legislative programme: she voted against regulations removing the academy presumption in schools, against extending employment tribunal time limits for workers, and against planning delegation rules that strip elected councillors of oversight on smaller housing applications. She also joined the uncontested opposition motion criticising the government's early prisoner release scheme.
Bool participates in 71% of votes, modestly below the Commons average, but compensates with high speech output — 270 contributions across 135 debates. Her voting profile is strongly pro-business (100% aligned) and anti-tax-increases (100%), while sitting well below her own party average on workers' rights (10%) and climate action (22%). She is notably more sceptical of assisted dying than most Conservative colleagues, voting for restrictions at a rate 10 percentage points above her party average. Economy, health, defence, and local government dominate her speeches.
Outside the chamber, Bool has drawn the clearest local attention on two issues: childhood diabetes screening, where she introduced legislation and draws on personal experience, and opposition to proposed parking charges in Brackley town centre, where she attended protests and launched a petition. She sits on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee and the Armed Forces Bill Committee — though her voting record on climate action and armed forces welfare runs slightly behind her party average on both. News coverage over the past 90 days is sparse, with no strongly positive or negative stories recorded.
Sarah Bool is the Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire, and has been an MP continually since 4 July 2024.
