Biography
Lord Katz has made 25 debate speeches across diverse topics, though the provided extracts show engagement primarily on policing, environmental matters, and assisted dying rather than the health and social care topics listed. His contributions on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill represent his most substantial engagement with health-related policy, where he outlined the Government's neutral stance on assisted dying while providing technical scrutiny of proposed amendments. His broader parliamentary activity demonstrates involvement in regulatory, criminal justice, and environmental legislation rather than focused engagement with the health and social care portfolio.
