We have been there before on issues with prisoners. We did it on voting. We found a messy compromise but basically prisoners are not allowed to vote. I fully understand why people believe prisoners should not be able to take advantage of assisted dying, whatever the reason, but it is clumsy at the moment if we rely only on what the Health Minister in the Commons said. I believe he had the Justice Minister next to him during the debate. I hope that today we will actually hear from the Justice Minister, considering that the majority of this debate has been about prisons and the ECHR. With that, I express concern about where we might go with this group of amendments.
