Baroness Falkner of Margravine (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, the noble and right reverend Lord makes a really valid point about codes of practice. Codes of practice sometimes are not statutory, so it would need to be a statutory code. Apart from all that, we also know that codes of practice become outdated. In another area of my expertise, a statutory code of practice was agreed in 2011. Although it is unlawful today, it has still not been withdrawn by the Government.
