Biography
Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint spoke in the Lords debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on 19 September 2025, expressing support for the Bill's principle while articulating his position as a religious person who believes in the sanctity of life. He argued that this religious belief does not preclude the state permitting terminally ill people of sound mind to end their suffering with dignity. This represented his sole recent contribution on health and social care topics tracked here.

“…This occurred in a jurisdiction notorious for its relatively loose framework of legislation on assisted dying. I will disguise the details somewhat, because this is still raw for those intimately concerned. A person with terminal cancer decided to die with dignity.”
