Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 March 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

If we accept the Bill’s criterion of having a terminal illness with six months to live, I do not think, despite what the noble Baroness, Lady Hayter, said, that you can see it with your eyes. At the moment, I have a terrible cough and cold. If you look through my eyes, I look like death warmed up. I do not think that that is good enough. It is, I hope, a bad way of judging one’s longevity.
