Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

First, both noble Baronesses would be very welcome to attend this meeting, which is expanding all the time. Secondly, the language the noble Baroness, Lady Hollins, proposed was “reasonable adjustments”, which is in the first draft but not the second. The reason we have not used the wording “reasonable adjustments” is that it comes from the disability Act. We want to do that and then go wider, and our amendment therefore gives greater width.
