Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Friday, 30 January 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
My Lords, for the reasons given, mainly by the noble Lord, Lord Empey, and despite what the noble Baroness, Lady Gerada, has just said, it seems to me highly desirable that there should be face-to-face contact if such an enormously important decision is being made. I therefore support face-to-face contact at both stages, other than for reasons where it cannot happen.
