Lord Harries of Pentregarth (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I am still genuinely not quite clear who the noble and learned Lord thinks the commissioner, and indeed this whole process, is ultimately accountable to. With the rejection of the amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady Cass, and various others, I am trying to work out who ultimately is going to monitor this if there is public concern about the law being interpreted much too loosely, or things are going wrong. Who is going to keep a permanent eye on what is happening?
