Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

For those of us who are inclined to support the noble Lord, Lord Carlile, which I strongly am, there are other questions that he and his amendments provoke, which have been touched on. Different points have been made about the strength of the Family Court judiciary. Some have argued that there are 20 High Court family judges; my understanding is that there are 17. Is the Minister able to tell us exactly how many High Court family judges there are and the seniority of each?
