Lord Winston (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 April 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

The noble Baroness and I are relatively unique in that we were two of the 12 members of the Lords Select Committee panel that looked at the Bill. One issue that we found on our side was that the people against the Bill refused to take the evidence that we were trying to propose from other countries that had been successful with this type of Bill, including Australia, New Zealand and many other countries—some 30 sovereignties. We had great difficulty getting any chance of a proper hearing until the very end, by which time it was too late.
