Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 16 May 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.


Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

We were assured that one of the key safeguards in the Bill’s original incarnation was a legal test. That process—had it been retained, of course—would have enabled the collection of evidence in the very way that my right hon. and learned Friend is describing. It is partly because the safeguards have been weakened that we have the dilemma that his amendments seek to deal with.
