Public Inquiries
My Lords, can the Minister explain the way that people are chosen to sit on these various inquiries? The reason I ask this is that we had a Select Committee on obesity, which is very much a medical problem. Yet, although there were eight medical Peers av

My Lords, when the permanent staff are asked to do overtime or to fill in, rather than have agency medical staff, they are paid at a lower rate. Why do we not pay them the same rate as the agency medical staff? This would boost morale, lead to more conti

My Lords, is the Minister aware that there are scientists who are propagating nonsense that nothing can be done about the obesity epidemic because it is all genetic? These people are saying that the individual cannot be relied upon to take action and tha

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
Is the noble Lord aware of a rather alarming story from Holland that is relevant to the separation of the two services that he mentioned? A gentleman witnessed the euthanasia of his mother. It was done by an anaesthetist, who came in and said to the lady

My Lords, I wish to speak to my Amendment 941. As a medical professional, I know only too well that medical interventions can be driven by financial motives; organ harvesting for a profit is one such example. When medical interventions are financially mo

My Lords, is the Minister aware that combating the obesity epidemic has been seriously impaired by a number of pseudo- scientists who have put forward the idea that obesity is inevitable and that we cannot do anything about it, so it must be government t

Life Sciences: Beagles
My Lords, do the Government recognise the great contribution that pigs make to research and development? Pigs’ valves have been so useful in many aspects of researching human disease, because pigs are very much akin to man—in more senses than one.

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I have attended and spoken at most of the debates on euthanasia over the last 35 years, and one feature that has always struck me is that they have been full of anecdotes. Perhaps we ought to consider that the Greek word “anecdote” means “unpub
