Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 December 2025
Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
We have discussed vulnerabilities in other groups, but Professor Chris Whitty published a very useful report on the health of people in prison, on probation and in the secure NHS estate in England. It highlights some of the challenges and vulnerabilities that we have in debating these groups. At the end of life, there are processes for early release or temporary licence, but a prisoner’s decisions could be impacted by their experience, such as having nowhere to live or to go when they are released.
