I would be very grateful for confirmation from my noble and learned friend Lord Falconer that it is his intention, as I take it to be, that there should be no scope at all for a person to request an assisted death on another person’s behalf. If it is, I urge him to accept that this is not currently explicit in Clause 1 and should be made so. This is a straightforward amendment, with a straightforward safeguard, which would make the Bill clearer without complicating or slowing down the process in any way.
