Lord McColl of Dulwich (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 February 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I wish to speak to my Amendment 941. As a medical professional, I know only too well that medical interventions can be driven by financial motives; organ harvesting for a profit is one such example. When medical interventions are financially motivated, the best interests of the patient may be compromised. This amendment would help to prevent such compromise. It would deter the sort of financial abuse that could happen during the course of the assisted suicide process and would protect, in particular, the most vulnerable. I commend it to the Committee.
