Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Debate between Desmond Swayne and Caroline Dinenage

Report stage
Friday 13th June 2025 Commons Chamber

[Dame Caroline Dinenage]

I certainly will read that report. The hon. Member makes an excellent point. Palliative care is really important and needs to be improved. In many cases it makes such a difference, but it is not the solution for everybody. There are the most heartbreaking cases—I have met people in these situations in my constituency—where that form of palliative care would not have made the difference. That is why I support the Bill, and that begins with new clause 13.

[Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) (Con)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wonder if you can assist me as I am at a loss as to what amendment we are discussing.
