Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I focus my remarks on the impact of Amendment 120 and consequential amendments on the judiciary. But, of course, that overlooks the human cost in terms of the impact on families. What about them? Assistant dying cases would be very time-sensitive, so many hard-pressed families would inevitably be pushed further back in the queue, including those with complicated circumstances that also require senior judges’ expertise. Do we think that that is fair?
