The Senior Deputy Speaker (Lord Gardiner of Kimble)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 October 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, as noble Lords are aware, after the Second Reading of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, the House agreed a Motion tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Berger, to establish a Select Committee to consider the safeguards and procedures contained in the Bill. As agreed by the House on 19 September, the Select Committee will take evidence, including from professional bodies, those with professional experience of coronial services, and Ministers, and will report by Friday 7 November. The Motion before the House today gives effect to that decision by formally establishing the Select Committee and appointing its members. I am pleased to recommend to your Lordships the noble Lords who have agreed to serve. I beg to move.
