I understand that, if the interpretation needs to be clearer, my noble friend Lord Farmer might consider tabling an amendment to this amendment on Report, although Amendment 67, in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Grey-Thompson, might at least prevent the first option, where the president simply grants an order applied for. I am sure I am not alone in believing that the slightest risk of assisted dying applications being nodded through over time has to be strenuously guarded against, not least given that Sir Nicholas Mostyn cautioned against the High Court’s involvement in a previous incarnation of this Bill being no more than a symbolic rubber stamp.
