Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Debate between Baroness Fraser of Craigmaddie and Baroness Hollins

Friday 14th November 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Fraser of Craigmaddie (Con)]

I thank my noble friend for saying what I wish I could have said myself. I will end, because we have had a very long debate on this. I just want to emphasise that from my experience of dealing with people, with families, versus what professionals think, it is a very different landscape when we compare those who do it every day with those who are faced with these difficult decisions for the very first time.

[Baroness Hollins (CB)]

My Lords, I want to add a correction for the noble Lord, Lord Winston. The Royal College of Psychiatrists voted on the principle and it was a 50:50 split. The issue of this Bill is different. The college has taken the view, after a great deal of consultation, that it does not support the Bill.
