On 14 June 2026, Lauren Roberts MP announced that she would use her position (second) in the Private Members Ballot to re-introduce the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. It appears from her announcement that she intends to bring back the Bill introduced by Kim Leadbeater MP (which I will refer to here as the “Leadbeater Bill” for speed).
Together with my Complex Life and Death Decisions colleagues I do not take a position on whether Parliament should legislate, but do take a strong position that any legislation should be good law, both internally and as part of the wider web of the law. Together with my CLADD colleagues Professor Gareth Owen and Professor Katherine Sleeman, we have prepared an updated briefing to set out the problems with the Leadbeater Bill and an alternative way forward for Parliament in September 2026.
I maintain a resources page here which I have updated to take account of developments since the Leadbeater Bill failed to progress in April 2026.
