Sir Lindsay Hoyle

Speaker — Chorley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 June 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

A huge number of Members have indicated that they wish to speak in the debate. I hope that Members will restrict themselves to a reasonable amount of time—after the two opening speeches, I will advise on five minutes—to enable other colleagues to participate. We need shorter speeches to enable all Members, or as many as possible, to contribute. I shall make it clear that the Chair retains the right to impose a formal time limit, but I would rather colleagues helped each other. After all, it is an important day, and we do want to hear as many views as possible.
