Biography
Lord Banner has engaged on health and social care topics primarily through debate speeches, with contributions focused on assisted dying and end of life care, particularly during consideration of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in September 2025, where he opposed the measure citing concerns about pressures on vulnerable people. His other speeches during this period have predominantly addressed planning and infrastructure matters rather than health topics. The health and social care engagement recorded represents a limited portion of his overall parliamentary contributions on the topics tracked.
