Baroness Blackstone (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 April 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I will answer that briefly. I did not, in what I have just said, in any way imply that the medical colleges did not have some suggestions for improvements to the Bill. Many people have suggestions for improvements to the Bill, including my noble and learned friend Lord Falconer of Thoroton. What I am saying is that it is misleading to suggest that they are opposed to the Bill in principle as a profession—they are not; they have been neutral.
