Peers trying to block assisted dying, claims MP behind bill

More than 1,000 amendments have slowed progress in the House of Lords, risking the bill's delay beyond 2024 without extra debating sessions, supporters warn.

  • On Friday, peers in the House of Lords spent four hours and 44 minutes debating 21 amendments on the Terminally Ill Adults Bill.
  • With more than 1,000 amendments tabled, the backbench bill introduced by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater faces risks of running out of debating time.
  • Peers have so far discussed fewer than 30 amendments during two of the four days reserved for committee stage and took almost five hours on seven amendments last week, with two further days currently allocated to committee stage.
