I am deeply concerned that new clause 10, which the hon. Member for Spen Valley (Kim Leadbeater) has portrayed as a safeguard, does not replace or disapply amendment 341, passed in Committee, which, while removing the duty of referral for healthcare professionals, still requires them to point people in the direction of where they can “obtain” information and have a “preliminary discussion” about assisted suicide. Indeed, the new clause not only does not repeal that requirement; it reinforces it.
