Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
As the Delegated Powers Committee has pointed out, there are already extensive Henry VIII powers in the Bill, and it should be an easy matter to draft a new clause that removes all references to Wales in the Bill but grants a power to the Senedd to do its own Bill. Wales wants control of its own death regime and cannot do it since the Bill is nonsensically regarded as a criminal law Bill in Wales. We have the power to give the Senedd the power it needs to determine its own laws on this matter.
