Lord Moylan (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I agree that the notion of ordinary residence is very well established. I am more concerned about the subsection which requires a 12-month prior residency. That does not apply to anything we do in any other aspect of the NHS, for example. You might have been resident here a fortnight, but if you get knocked over in the street, you will be looked after and looked after for free. It is more the latter than the former that I was concerned with. I am grateful to have the noble Lord’s legal assurance but, as he said, it is not absolutely certain. One might retain him if the case came up.
