LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn threw his weight behind a change in the law on organ donation in England today to ensure people have to opt out of being donors.

The Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill presented by Labour’s Geoffrey Robinson seeks to introduce presumed consent in England, after Wales moved to an opt-out system and Scotland decided to follow suit.

Speaking in the Commons today, Mr Corbyn said of Mr Robinson’s Bill: “It’s wonderful he’s got this this Bill introduced and I hope today the House can pass it and thus save an awful lot of people’s lives in the future.”
