Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Amendment 32, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, would make it explicit that a person may be assessed for eligibility for an assisted death. Noble Lords may wish to know that Clause 1(2) and other parts of the Bill already provide for the assessment of eligibility. While this is, of course, a choice for noble Lords, this amendment may introduce inconsistencies and ambiguity.
