Reasoning & Evidence21 Jul 2026
The claim asserts that Sarah Green MP spoke to women at an event in Parliament on 2 June 2026 (the day before her speech on 3 June 2026). While the broader context is well-supported — Sarah Green is the chair of the First Do No Harm APPG on mesh, Primodos and valproate, has led debates on the Hughes report, and has long campaigned on sodium valproate redress — I could find no independent public record confirming that a specific event took place in Parliament on that date or that she spoke to affected women there. The only reference to this event is Sarah Green's own statement in the speech itself. Since the claim concerns a specific private interaction at a particular event, and the evidence needed to verify it (attendance records, event listings, or reporting on that specific date) is not available in public sources, the claim cannot be corroborated or contradicted.

From speech
Q8. Yesterday, at an event here in Parliament, I spoke to women whose children suffered avoidable harm after they continued taking the epilepsy drug sodium valproate during pregnancy. Doctors knew the risks and patients were not informed, and that has had devastating consequences. I am sure that the Prime Minister would agree that the fact that a Government Department commissioned a report looking at how to provide a redress scheme raised an expectation that one was on the horizon. To then not introduce such a scheme would be unbelievably cruel. When will this Government respond to the Hughes report and finally establish a redress scheme for the families?
