Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2025
Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
On issues around domestic abuse, the noble and learned Lord referred eloquently to other parts of the legislation, but this was a key discussion initiated by Jess Asato—I think others may come in to discuss this particular point—and I am not aware that she has been involved in potential amendments to what she thought she had secured. I will not repeat her Commons speech, but it was very clear about the extra forms of abuse that she specifically managed to get into the Bill. She felt it was important because, currently, not enough healthcare professionals have had training in those.
