Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

It also seems disrespectful to this House, and to the process, to treat the Bill as finished and as a given in relation to the Senedd. As I say, family and friends said to me, “What did we just vote for? Have you passed the Bill?” It was very difficult to explain, “No, we haven’t passed the Bill, but you were voting that, regardless of what Bill we pass, you are giving consent”. It did not feel like the kind of consent that I have much faith in.
