Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 December 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I want to reiterate the question: are we keeping our prison population in mind as a vulnerable group in the Bill? Particularly when our prisons are overcrowded and, to be extremely frank—although I think the noble Baroness, Lady Fox, was franker—the desire to remove people from the system is high. I fear how the Bill could play out among the prison population and hope that noble Lords will give further consideration to this important issue.
