Lord Markham (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I am a bit confused. I think I heard from the noble Baroness a concern that savings of £13,000 a week would be generated if assisted dying happened. I then heard her say afterwards that there would be costs on other people. Obviously, she cannot have it each way. A few times I have heard people asking, “Where’s the money coming from?”, and other people saying, “There’s an incentive because there’s a saving in it”. Can the noble Baroness clarify that, please?
