This document (prepared in August 2025) is a version of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill as it stands on entry to the House of Lords with amendments proposed by Professor Gareth Owen, Professor Alex Ruck Keene KC (Hon) and Professor Katherine Sleeman, all members of the Complex Life and Death Decisions Group based at King’s College London. For more details of the group, see here.
A version of the Bill with amendments and annotations explaining those amendments can be found here.
Any actual amendments would need to be drafted in the conventional way, with the assistance of the Parliamentary authorities, but we consider that tracking changes into the text of the Bill is the clearest way of seeing their implications.
For an overview briefing in relation to the Bill, together with high-level explanations for the amendments proposed, see here. Detailed briefings on key areas have been prepared as follows:
a. Capacity;
b. Eating disorders;
c. The preliminary discussion;
d. Multidisciplinary consideration;
e. The Panel.
For more detail about any of the matters set out above, please contact alexander.ruck_keene@kcl.ac.uk.
Alex Ruck Keene maintains a resources page on the TIA Bill here.
Alex has done a video explainer of the amendments:
