Lord Alton of Liverpool (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 October 2026

Debate

Public Office (Accountability) Bill

Contribution

I am sorry to interrupt, but the noble Lord will recall that I raised this issue at Second Reading. I am grateful to the noble Baroness for introducing this amendment. For the families, not least those in ForThe100, who have actually experienced the deaths of students—it could apply to academics as well—will the Minister confirm that, where there has been the suicide of an academic or a student, it will then be possible for the terms of the duty of candour to apply totally to the university in those circumstances?
