Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

The noble Baroness, Lady Coffey, suggests that ordinary residence be replaced by domicile. I could not have put it better than the various interventions in relation to that. Domicile is complicated and legally driven. I do not say that it is only in relation to tax, but tax is the area which has driven definitions of domicile. It would be an inappropriate test, and therefore, I would be against that.
