Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I am saying that what the Bill does is allow you to make your own decision. I am strongly against saying poor people should not have that choice, which appears to be what the noble Lord, Lord Harper, is saying. The evidence from abroad is that it is people from perhaps more financially secure circumstances who make this sort of choice.
