The family of teenager Sophie Jones who died after being refused a smear test because of her age watched yesterday as MPs debated her “lifesaving legacy.”

The emotive debate in Parliament was the 19-year-old’s last wish before she lost her fight with cancer on March 14. 

Sophie’s mum Peri and other family members watched from the public gallery as Liverpool Labour MP Steve Rotherham called for a rule change to stop other girls dying.
