Biography

Based on the provided extracts, I cannot provide an accurate summary as requested. The two Hansard extracts provided do not contain substantive contributions from Lord Kennedy of Southwark on learning disability & autism or assisted dying. The first extract is procedural (announcing business), and the second is a procedural intervention regarding amendment order. Neither extract shows debate speech content on the stated topics. To accurately summarise his engagement, extracts containing his actual debate speeches on these health and social care topics would be needed.
