In a clear sign that Parliament is increasingly preparing for law change on assisted dying, discussion focused on the detail of delivery and implementation during a landmark full-day debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in the House of Lords today (Friday 12 September 2025).
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill has today received its First Reading in the House of Lords, marking a significant milestone in the campaign to legalise assisted dying as a choice for terminally ill adults.
