Peers clash with Esther Rantzen over plans to delay and change assisted dying bill
Dame Esther Rantzen said that the members of the Lords Assembly did not understand how British parliamentary democracy works after suggesting that members of the Assembly of the Assembly should not keep the assisted dying legislation.
Kim Leadbeater’s bill passed by a narrow majority of 23 in the last third reading game in Commons on Friday, but his peers were preparing to make hundreds of changes.
There is a danger that the bill will be kept so much that there will be no time to go into the law, and Dame Esther hits peers who want to use the procedure effectively to make it fall.
Speaking in the Today’s Today’s Today, the 85 -year -old TV personality, which has a terminal cancer diagnosis, said: ım I don’t have to teach the House of Lords how to do their jobs. They know very well and know that the laws are produced by the elected room.
“To examine things, ask questions, but to oppose.
“Yes, people who are decisively opposed to this bill and have the perfect right to resist, will try to try to pass through the Lords, but the Lords themselves, their duties, the law is actually created by the chosen chamber, which is actually the chosen chamber that votes it.”
But a senior Toray’s rival and associated Lord Stewart Jackson’s rival is back Independent That Dame Esther doesn’t understand how parliament works.
“Our system does not work like this,” he said. “The House of Lords is in the constitutional rights and privileges in order to change or delay a bill that is not supported by a minority of deputies only in a manifesto, weakly prepared, rushed, and barely examined and barely deeply on the resources of NHS and NHS.”
In the meantime, another opponent, former Palympian Barones Tanni Grey-Thompson, has made it clear that he plans to bring a lot of changes to the bill.
BBC Breakfast spoke and said: “I mean, I mean, it can be presented to learning impaired people without training. There are gaps on anorexia.
“And I think there are gaps around the children – a young person only has to say that the conversation began on 18th birthdays, and that’s all.”
He said that people “scared” on both sides of the discussion: “I think we have to find a way about it.
“This is actually the job of the lords, you know, there is there to change the lords, there is there to develop, and there are too different, there to try to reconcile very complex views.
“I am worried about the disabled. This bill will not happen with the isolation of the Swingeing government deductions that we expect around the disability and need to reform the welfare system.”
