Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jay of Paddington (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 12 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill [HL].
Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am afraid that I am going to persist for another 30 seconds because this is a Second Reading debate. The Bill of the noble Lord, Lord Joffe, offers a dignified and humanitarian choice for such people. Throughout his career, the noble Lord has been a very considerable advocate and a very great pioneer of the principle of human rights and, indeed, individual freedom. I very much hope that Parliament—and, indeed, perhaps, the Government—will swiftly follow him.
