Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 April 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My hope is that the House of Commons will revive the Bill in the next Session and that they will send it back to us in the same terms, so that the Parliament Act can apply. We could then continue our scrutiny. We could improve the Bill—it is not perfect—and complete our process. The opponents of the Bill would not be able again to talk the Bill out, because the Parliament Act would ensure that the will of the elected House prevails, and that is as it should be.
