Proceeding contribution from Baroness Falkner of Margravine (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 February 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Crime and Policing Bill.
Crime and Policing Bill
My Lords, we are coming back to the terminally ill debate that we had on Friday. Women may well be—although not in this particular case—coerced by partners to take pills when they would not otherwise have wished to do so. Perhaps noble Lords who have tabled amendments to do with face-to-face consultations have that in their minds, as a face-to-face consultation would require deeper insights on the part of medical professionals—pills by post do not.
