Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I come to some further amendments that I have tabled. I have tabled Amendment 120A to Amendment 120. It would not allow taxpayer funding to be used by the person applying to get this determination by the court. I think there will be plenty of other ways. I am sure that charities that can provide financial support if needed will evolve. I do not believe this should be done by taxpayers. Of course, the running of the courts themselves has to be done by taxpayers.
