Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 April 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Before my noble friend sits down, I say that I have been accused of dishonesty in my representations. I will just repeat what I said. I was very clear that, while the overwhelming majority—bar one, I think—of the royal medical colleges take a neutral position on the principle of assisted dying, there is not a single medical royal college in this country that will attest to the safety of the Bill. I reiterate that that should concern us all.
