142: Clause 4, page 2, line 39, at end insert— “(f) providing guidance regarding the practice and procedure of Assisted Dying Review Panels (see Schedule 2).”Member’s explanatory statement This amendment and two others in the name of Lord Murray of Blidworth addresses an issue raised by Select Committee witnesses namely that the Commissioner is not under an obligation to give guidance to the panel on procedure, which could mean it is entirely at each panel’s discretion how they work. These amendments make the provision of guidance mandatory, following consultation.
