Proceeding contribution from Marie Tidball (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 June 2026. It occurred during e-petition debate on Progression of Bills through Parliament.


Progression of Bills through Parliament

My hon. Friend the Member for Spen Valley (Kim Leadbeater), who introduced the assisted dying Bill as a private Member’s Bill, cannot be with us today. Does my hon. Friend agree that the filibustering in the Lords and the inability of the Lords to deal with the assisted dying Bill within reasonable time fetters us as Back Benchers, and has a chilling effect on introducing a range of issues of conscience as private Members’ Bills?
