Lords members begin discussions on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on Friday 12 September. This is the first of two days of second reading, the first phase of a bill’s passage through the Lords. Almost 200 members are expected to speak over two days, bringing a range of professional and lived experience, including nurses, doctors and lawyers.
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is a private members’ bill, which is a type of public bill introduced by an individual member of the Lords (rather than the government).
If passed, it would allow adults in England and Wales with a prognosis of less than six months to live to be provided with assistance to end their lives, subject to eligibility criteria and conditions.

Briefing by Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, on the situation in the Middle East.
—————–
Also addressing the Council today, Rosemary A. DiCarlo, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, said, “Israel’s airstrikes in Doha, Qatar, shocked the world. This alarming escalation, which struck individuals reportedly gathered to discuss a ceasefire and hostage release deal, constitutes a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Ms. DiCarlo stressed, “Any action that undermines mediation and dialogue weakens confidence in the very mechanisms we depend on for conflict resolution. Preserving the integrity of negotiation channels is crucial to fostering trust and safeguarding the norms that underpin diplomacy.”
She further warned, “The Israeli attack on Doha potentially opens a new and perilous chapter in this devastating conflict, seriously threatening regional peace and stability.”
The Under-Secretary-General emphasized, “Durable and just solutions to the crises in the Middle East will not come out of more violence and more fighting. The urgency of a ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza has never been greater.”
Press Conference by Sanda Ojiambo, Assistant Secretary-General of UN Global Compact, in advance of the flagship event of the Global Africa Business Initiative (GABI), which is taking place on Sunday and Monday 21-22 September at the Marriot Marquis in Times Square.
