Biography
The Duke of Wellington raised assisted dying through one Lords debate speech, delivered on 12 September 2025 during debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. In it, they stated support for the principle that something must be done, citing concern about people dying in pain or without dignity. The extract is truncated, so the rest of the speech is not covered here.
