34: Clause 1, page 1, line 13, leave out “assistance to end their own life” and insert “medical help to commit suicide by provision of lethal drugs” Member’s explanatory statement This is part of a long series of identical or near-identical amendments which Lord Frost would seek to table at Report Stage should this amendment find favour. The intention is to provide clarity on the nature of the services provided by this Bill and to avoid euphemism. This is the first occasion in the Bill text at which the phrase “assistance to end their own life” occurs.
