Peers have been scrutinising the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which was voted through by MPs in the Commons in June. Members of the Lords have tabled more than 1,000 amendments, a record number for a private member’s bill. Supporters have said the Parliament Act could be invoked to override objections from peers if the draft law is not approved before the King’s Speech in May. She said Lord Falconer wanted the Lords “to stop doing the work and just wave it through”. During business questions in Commons, Dame Harriett Baldwin, Conservative MP for West Worcestershire, asked for assurance that Government time would not be allocated for the Act.
