Labour — Na h-Eileanan an Iar

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 September 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making a very informed speech on how the medical landscape has changed, but while the arguments we make today are the same, the political landscape has changed as well. Would he agree with the Father of the House that we now have a Prime Minister committed to solving the problems with social care and palliative care, and that in Scotland, where the hon. Gentleman comes from, we saw the political landscape change in front of our eyes? MSPs initially voted for similar legislation, but ultimately voted against it. People can change their minds, and I hope that they do.
