    24 January 2020 Issue 1,938 Political Affairs Digest A daily summary of political events affecting the Jewish Community Contents Home Affairs Relevant Legislation Holocaust Consultations Home Affairs Westminster Hall Debate Assisted Dying Law col 186WH Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat): … The current law in this country simply is not working. I hope that we can begin to address today the effect of that law on terminally ill people and their loved ones, and on public servants such as doctors, health and social care professionals, police and coroners. … this issue is hugely evocative, can involve issues of faith and puts the medical profession in the most difficult of positions. It is also, of course, the most personal, intimate and ultimate of decisions. … Andrew Selous (Conservative): … Does the hon. Lady agree that we need to be very careful to ensure that old and sick people do not feel a pressure to end their lives, perhaps from their children, who might want to inherit their assets and to whom they may feel they are being a burden? Christine Jardine: … That is why I am so concerned that we should have a very narrow and precise definition if we change the law. … col 187WH Fiona Bruce (Conservative): What is the hon. Lady’s response to the evidence that, in countries where assisted suicide has been made legal, investment in palliative care has fallen? Christine Jardine: … That is something we would have to be aware of, but I believe it is up to us to address it. … col 188WH Rupa Huq (Labour): … I get her point that saying goodbye in an airport is not the best thing for people who choose to go to Switzerland, but at the same time I worry about safeguards.

BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. “FILE ON 4” Transmission: Tuesday 9th August 2005 Repeat: Sunday 14th August 2005 Producer: David Lewis Reporter: Alan Whitehouse Editor: David Ross ACTUALITY OF BUS INSPECTION MAN: Wash wipes are working, horn. Steering’s free and easy … WHITEHOUSE: A government vehicle inspector completes a safety check on a bus. MAN: now you check indicator stalks. They’re working. Hazard lights are working … WHITEHOUSE: He says on a typical day, three out of ten will fail, a record that raises tough questions about the state of Britain’s bus network. The government says it wants buses to be carrying 12% more passengers in ten years time. But right now, commuters are still deserting the bus. Numbers have almost halved over the past twenty years despite a hefty £1.7 billion annual subsidy. File on 4 investigates where that cash is going – and what we’re getting in return. SIGNATURE TUNE 2 ACTUALITY AT BUS STATION WHITEHOUSE: I’m in Stoke on Trent’s bus station. It’s a nondescript concrete edifice, but an accident on this spot triggered a major investigation by the government’s Vehicle Operator Services Agency, which employs the vehicle inspectors.
