Baroness Blackstone (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, regrettably, we are never going to get to Report. Members of the House keep referring to Report. My noble and learned friend, the sponsor of the Bill, has frequently said that he will come back to some of the questions that have been put by the noble Lord, Lord Harper, and others. Normally, that would happen on Report. Were there a more disciplined and focused approach to scrutinising the Bill by those who oppose it, we would have perhaps got to Report, but we have not. We have had a long debate about Wales, including all sorts of questions about the devolutionary arrangements, and I wonder whether we can now hear from the Front Bench.
