Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 November 2025

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

What I am proposing—I hope that the noble and learned Lord, Lord Falconer, when he winds up, will be able to respond positively to these suggestions—is that we introduce a proactive, evidence-based method for detecting potential coercion before any irreversible action is taken. Involving formally the voluntary assisted dying commissioner and the panel in reviewing these financial safeguards ensures the oversight and accountability which are missing from the Bill.
