Former Labour Cabinet minister Dame Tessa Jowell dies aged 70
by Guest Sun May 13, 2018 1:08 pm
Former Labour cabinet minister Dame Tessa Jowell has died, her family has announced.
Dame Tessa, who was 70, was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme brain tumour in May last year, suffered a haemorrhage on Friday, and had been in a coma until her death on Saturday, a spokesman for the family said.
A popular figure in Parliament, Dame Tessa played a major role in securing the 2012 Olympics for London when she served as culture secretary.
Dame Tessa moved fellow peers to tears in recent months as she used the House of Lords as a platform to discuss her condition and call for patients to have better access to experimental treatment.
