Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 April 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

The implications of what has happened for this House are huge. I believe that the trust we place in self-regulation, which is a fragile concept, and in restraint has been fatally undermined. I believe that the House lost sight of what we are here to do, which is to use our judgment to determine what is really important, to ask the Government to think again and to give the House the chance to voice and vote on what it thinks is right.
