David Smith

Labour — North Northumberland

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 January 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill (Money)

Contribution

I am sorry; I am almost finished. This could seem like a tangential point to make on a money resolution, but, to summarise this and my other points, I fear the consequences of the relationship between money—this resolution in particular—and assisted dying. Although I will not be voting against this resolution, because I believe in the democratic process, I think we seriously need to consider the relationship between money and this Bill.
