Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 January 2026
Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
As other noble Lords have raised, the honourable Member for Spen Valley, Kim Leadbeater, said she was uncomfortable with the Oregon model. Where the noble Baroness, Lady Blackstone, and I probably do agree is that none of this should be a tick-box exercise, but my concern with doing it online is that it would become that. Does the noble and learned Lord agree with Kim Leadbeater’s concerns over this becoming a tick-box exercise? I know that he cannot speak for her, so I am going to write to her, but I would like to understand why she did not amend the Bill to include this after saying that she felt really uncomfortable with it.
