Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jay of Paddington (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 20 March 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill.
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
To add to what the noble Lord, Lord Stevens, said, I very much dislike the death notices, for example, which refer to people having put up a great fight or having failed to deal with the battle, or whatever expression is used, which suggests precisely what the noble Lord said—that they have somehow failed in a mortal combat.
