Over 900 amendments

Dignity in Dying   Dear friend,   The Bill has now entered Committee stage in the House of Lords - over 1,000 amendments have been tabled. Some are genuine attempts to strengthen the Bill. But many are designed for one purpose only: to slow progress, run down the clock, and block this…

Who should decide how we die?

Dignity in Dying   Dear friend,   I am profoundly concerned regarding the recent decisions of the new Archbishop of Canterbury who has said she is prepared to table an amendment so the Lords can vote down the Bill or that the Bishops in the Lords are prepared to do everything in their…
