Biography
Lord Green of Deddington contributed to the Lords debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in September 2025, expressing concerns that the Bill as currently drafted requires substantial work on both detailed provisions and central issues. He highlighted a specific risk that the legislation could create pressure on people to end their lives due to fears of becoming a burden on others, and noted the debate had raised important questions about the Bill's complexity and its implications for the relationship between citizens and the state.

“…Lord, Lord Kakkar, also pointed out that “passing a Bill that makes provision for the state to pay for an assisted dying service … while not fully funding the provision of palliative care would have wider implications, which was rather tactfully put, if I may say so.”
