Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government whether civil servants have been allowed or instructed to continue working on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill when this parliamentary session ends.
- Answer
-
The number of civil servants working on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill has varied over time.
As of 27 April 2026, following the bill falling at the end of the parliamentary session on 24 April 2026, there are no dedicated civil servants working on the bill. In line with usual practice, the Government does not normally maintain dedicated teams working on a Private Member’s Bill once Parliament has ceased consideration of that bill.
