Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 February 2026
Debate
Scotland Act 1998 (Modification of Schedule 5) Order 2026Contribution
I speculate that the Government are trying to fix a problem in Scotland by putting something into the Private Member’s Bill being considered in this House, but is that really the right approach? Otherwise, there is no reason for Amendment 888, and no reason for Amendment 77 in the Commons. To that end, I am trying to get to the bottom of why, given the narrowness of what this relates to in regard to assisted dying in Scotland, the Government chose not to agree with the initial proposals of the Scottish Government to have a wider element in Section 30.
