Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

I am totally confused by this speech. The complaint being made by the noble Baroness is that this should be dealt with by Wales. We took the view that if the legislative consent Motion did not go through—that is, the Senedd did not consent to it being dealt with here—it would be dealt with by Wales. The noble Baroness is now complaining that we are complying with the rules of devolution and legislating here, as the Senedd has agreed.
