Lord Harper (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I am grateful to the noble Lord for taking my question at this stage of the debate. I listened very carefully to him when he was setting out his proposals and I welcome the fact that he said that the navigator can discuss palliative care and such issues with the person concerned. Unless I misunderstand his amendments, they do not propose to help secure those services for the person. They might set out what they are, but they do not get them, so there is an imbalance there. They will help them get the assisted suicide but not proper palliative care.
