That this House notes the Government's persistent promises to oppose euthanasia and Ministers' repeated commitments not to introduce legislation to enshrine in statute law the Bland judgement; further notes that this defined assisted food and fluid as treatment which was withdrawn from Mr Tony Bland bringing about his death by dehydration and starvation; regrets that the White Paper on 'Making Decisions' now reverses this promise by putting forward the Bland judgement as a basis for medical practice; further notes that nothing in the paper would protect patients from doctors withdrawing life sustaining food and fluid or from proxy decision-makers refusing medical treatment, including assisted food and fluids, on behalf of the incapacitated; and calls on the Government to make good its promise to oppose euthanasia by the immediate introduction of a Bill to outlaw doctors bringing about death by deliberate omission or commission in patients who are not dying.

That this House welcomes the individual statements from the Chief Rabbi, Professor Jonathan Sacks, and from His Grace Cardinal Thomas Winning of Glasgow, each expressing deep regret and concern at the BMA guidelines on withholding and withdrawing nutrition and hydration from patients; notes that both these important religious leaders view with alarm the fact that such treatment would deliberately end the lives of patients and 'represent a shift from a value system in which human life is considered sacrosanct to one in which its value is relative and subjective'; applauds their call to politicians, regardless of political affiliation, 'to exert their influence to curb the disturbing trend towards the legislation of euthanasia'; and in response calls, once again, on the Secretary of State immediately to circulate all hospitals and health care workers to emphasise that the BMA guidelines contravene the present law and should not be adopted.

That this House notes with concern that the British Medical Association report on Withholding and Withdrawing Life-Prolonging Medical Treatment makes no distinction between the effect of withdrawing life-support, such as ventilation, and withdrawal of food and fluid by tube from a patient who is not dying, and that the report fails to recognise that the former action will result in a patient dying from his or her pre-existing condition whereas the latter will result in the patient dying from dehydration and starvation caused directly by the doctor, nurse or other health-care worker removing the patient's feeding tube; further notes with alarm that these guidelines are intended to be followed in a much wider range of cases and conditions than Persistent Vegetative State, relying upon the advice of one independent doctor alone without the current requirement to make an application to the courts; notes that, following the decision in the House of Lords in the case of Airedale NHS Trust v Bland, which currently applies only to PVS patients, this could result in doctors and nurses being obliged to kill their patients by dehydration if the guidlines were ever to become accepted in practice; and calls on the Secretary of State immediately to circulate all hospitals and health-care workers to emphasise that the guidelines do not represent legal guidelines and should not be adopted.

That this House welcomes the not guilty verdict brought in by the jury at Newcastle Crown Court and the summing up by Judge Hooper following the admission by Dr Moor that he had, at the patient's request, alleviated the suffering of 85 year old cancer victim George Liddell in July 1997 by administering the painkiller Diamorphine; warmly applauds the overwhelming support given to Dr Moor by hundreds of his regular patients over the two long years of investigation by the prosecuting authorities; recognises that while palliative care has made many welcome advances it does not answer all the problems of a dying person; and calls on the Government to introduce clear legislation on the issue of doctor assisted dying to ease the burden of many of those 300,000 people in Britain who are at any one time terminally ill, suffering unbearable distress and sign a declaration requesting medical help to die.
