If the safeguards in the Bill fail even once, it will be a young woman like Jessica who dies. It will be parents like Lesley and Neal who lose a child. That is a terrible tragedy that no family should ever have to endure and no one in this House will be able to say truthfully that we did not know or did not see that coming. That is not compassion; it is abandonment. I will not be complicit in that and I hope the House will not be either. That is why we must act now. Amendments 14 and 38 each would close a different and dangerous loophole. One without the other is not enough. If we are serious about protecting vulnerable people, this House must support both amendments.
