Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

On that very point about Clause 37, I am sure my noble and learned friend is aware of the updated Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee report alluded to by the noble Lord, Lord Stevens, a moment ago. On that clause, it states that there are still “highly inappropriate” provisions in the Bill, particularly on Clause 37, specifically in relation to the substances that would be used for an assisted death. I heard what my noble and learned friend said, but it is the complete opposite of what the report released yesterday says and what remains in the Bill. The amendments that my noble and learned friend has brought forward do not yet address the concerns expressed by that very important committee in its report.
