Parents' plea to MPs after their son's brain tumour death

A couple from Warwickshire whose son died from a brain tumour has secured a House of Commons debate over spending on scientific research.

Stephen Realf, a trainee RAF pilot from Rugby, died in 2014 when he was 26.

His family started a petition calling for more money to investigate brain tumours which more than 120,000 people have signed.

His parents Liz and Peter Realf want the Government to invest at least £30m into fighting the disease.

Around 16,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with brain tumours each year. MPs will debate funding levels at a date yet to be fixed.
