Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Face-to-face, physically co-present assessments that are not mediated by technology should probably be the norm in the Bill. Where there is a remote assessment, a recording of it should be required, as that will be essential for auditing and quality control, as well as in the event of any legal challenge later. This group of amendments should be considered together and reworked and we should come back to them on Report.
