Lord Beith (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

The noble Lord talked about bureaucratic impediments. A later amendment of mine addresses the bureaucratic impediment that if you are a resident in England and Wales who lives a few miles from a general practice in Scotland, and you are registered with that practice, you are disqualified from the scope of the Bill. It seems to me there is quite a bit of work to be done on these border issues, which I hope the noble and learned Lord might indicate he is willing to see done, to try to sort them out. If he is so willing, I will not need to move Amendment 17, which we come to a little later.
