  • Political Affairs Digest a Daily Summary of Political Events Affecting the Jewish Community
    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.
