Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I nevertheless understand that other phrases, such a “die by suicide”, could be preferable. That would be a perfectly reasonable discussion to have, but the crucial thing is that the meaning should be clear, the word should be used and the proposed means of carrying out what is provided for in this Bill should be unambiguous. Otherwise, we are retreating from reality.
