Baroness Falkner of Margravine (CB)

My Lords, I want to pick up on two points made in this debate. First, if I heard the noble Baroness, Lady Gerada, correctly, when she advocated online meetings, she said that there is no distinction between whether the person requesting permission is in Torbay or Tenerife. That is a profoundly important legal point, which I hope the noble and learned Lord will cover in his summing up. If a person was in an online meeting in a foreign jurisdiction and it subsequently transpired that there was coercion��noble Lords have given several examples of how that could happen—from a foreign citizen, assuming the patient returned to the UK to carry out their wish to be assisted to die, what would be the legal position in the criminal law? My second point relates to what the noble Baroness, Lady Berger, said about home assessments. I do not have the impact assessment to hand, but I recall that the number of people likely to seek assisted dying is not enormously large, running, say, to many thousands per year. Therefore, if only 10% of people were unable to have face-to-face consultations, surely the impact assessment should cover that small minority of people and the costs and practicalities of them requiring home assessments.
