Assisted Dying Bill [HL]

Debate between Lord Carlile of Berriew and Baroness Williams of Trafford

Friday 7th November 2014 Lords Chamber

[Lord Carlile of Berriew]

Secondly, the noble Baroness has reminded me of something which I intended to say, did not say and therefore will say now. Yes, there are rogues in the medical profession and there are most certainly rogues in the legal profession and in politics. What we are talking about under this Bill is a model that relies, unacceptably in my view, on the medical profession.

[Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con)]

My Lords, before we continue, may I refer noble Lords to the Companion, which suggests that, in debates where there are no formal time limits, contributions are kept to 15 minutes?
