My Lords, in my response to the gracious Speech, I shall focus on what is missing. Soon, the noble Lord, Lord Hennessy, will be missing. The noble Lord joined your Lordships’ House shortly before I did and was so gracious as I enthusiastically presented

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I recognise that this is a day of disappointment. I am keenly aware of those who viewed this law as the solution to their plight, but also of those for whom the clear failure of proper provision of palliative services will not be solved any tim

My Lords—
I am grateful to the Minister for that assurance of continuity. I would have been grateful for clarity that there cannot be the possibility of two sets of statutory instruments, because that is where the possibility of a gap exists, but I am grateful for
My Lords, Amendment 317 seeks to amend the Lieutenancies Act 1997 to ensure the continuation of Rutland as a ceremonial county with its own lord-lieutenant. I am grateful to the Minister for her email today relating to this matter, and for acknowledging

In relation to what the noble and learned Lord said in response to the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, about not being rostered being a sensible solution, that is a different language from having a legally enforceable right to say to your employer, “I do no

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I have added my name to Amendments 359, 660, 665 and 681, as I believe they would ensure the widest possible protection for those people who, due to issues of conscience, are not able to participate in assisted dying. I specifically use “not ab

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
To clarify, is the noble and learned Lord saying that a mandatory exclusion would be in a code of practice? We cannot do that unless it is in the Bill. In relation to the latter point, we will just have to agree to differ on the safeguarding issues in re

My Lords, Amendment 174 is in my name, and I am grateful to the noble and learned Lord for the meeting on this issue. This amendment states:
“Any interpreter provided under subsection (4) must be aged 18 … or over”.
It is a probing amendment.

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
The noble and learned Lord is correct that the amendment refers to the wrong person at the local authority. However, the substance of what I said two weeks ago about Amendment 462A is this: does not the panel need a power to ensure it can ask a local aut

When I mention drafting changes, I mean in relation to the timing of this. As drafted, it would need to be done before the application is granted, and it may be that the requirement to go to the local authority could be at the same time as having approve
