Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Amendments 495D and 496D, in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Harper, would require that a person must apply to the commissioner for referral to a second panel within 10 calendar days of the refusal from the first panel. Given the short timeframe, these amendments may raise Article 6 issues if there is no discretion involved.
