Baroness Grey-Thompson (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I feel a sense of disquiet listening to the noble and learned Lord’s response, especially when he talked about privilege. I have a huge amount of privilege in my life. If I need a new wheelchair, I can buy one. I can put a lift in my house. I can buy a car and pay for the hand controls. When I need a van with a tail lift, I can pay for that. Is he really saying that lack of privilege plays no part in somebody choosing to end their life?
