Newspaper headlines: 'The end of smear tests' and new Speaker Hoyle
The Daily Mail reports on a possible new alternative to traditional smear tests for women. A new type of cervical cancer test has been developed at Queen Mary University of London. Involving a urine sample or swab, it could be used at home rather than going to the doctor. The scientists behind it hope the DIY test could become routine within five years, the paper adds.
But the paper leads on another parliamentary story - a report from the Commons intelligence and security committee examining the threat posed by Russia meddling to UK politics. The report, finished in March 2019, has not yet been published. The Guardian says No 10 has indicated it will not allow it to be published before the election, a decision that committee chairman Dominic Grieve has called"jaw-dropping".
