Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
We are not sure that the Mental Capacity Act is the best way in which to judge capacity in this case, and this Bill goes along with it. I ask the noble and learned Lord to think again. There have been amendments to disapply Sections 3(2) and 3(3) of the Mental Capacity Act for this purpose, and we have heard very good proposals of alternatives. Surely something could be worked out.
