Lord Shinkwin (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 6 February 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I thank the noble and learned Lord for mentioning the importance of listening. I also thank him for the fact that, in dismissing every single amendment that your Lordships have considered, he has reminded the House of the extent to which he is listening. I ask him, because he failed to address my question about filibustering, to confirm that our consideration of these amendments will not be presented as filibustering—a yes or no would suffice. Finally, I do not suffer from my condition; I live with it, despite obstacles that I encounter. I suffer from prejudice.
