Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay received a rare and prolonged standing ovation from his fellow MPs as he returned to Parliament for the first time since his hands and feet were amputated following a life-threatening episode of sepsis.
Mr Mackinlay used his question at Prime Minister's Questions to call for improved recognition of the early signs of sepsis and the better provision of appropriate prosthetics to amputees.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer paid tribute to Mr Mackinlay's courage and determination, acknowledging his survival against the odds after falling severely ill last year.
