Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

It is my fault for not dealing with it adequately. Of the two other clauses that apply, one is about advertising and is concerned with advertising into England and Wales. Nobody wants the advertising of assisted death services. We have drafted it on the basis that if you do it from Northern Ireland into England and Wales then there should be a means of enforcing that. The other is detriment to employment rights. Employment law covers the whole of the United Kingdom, which is why this applies to that one as well.
