Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I thank the noble Lord for giving way. It might be helpful, in the context of this conversation, for noble Lords to be aware that the data that the Department for Work and Pensions has on people who are in receipt of a benefit that comes during the six months towards the end of life shows that 23% of people who were given a six-month prognosis are still alive three years later.
