Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

It was asked to vote on the principle of whether this should be dealt with by the Welsh Senedd, because one of the amendments to the Motion for legislative consent was that it believes that “Wales should have full powers to choose to legislate or not regarding the legality and implementation of assisted dying services, as is the case in Scotland”. That was beaten by 25 to 13.
