Assisted Dying Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Richard (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 7 November 2014. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Assisted Dying Bill [HL].

If the noble Lord will allow me, why does he make the provision of an independent medical examiner mandatory and not discretionary? In the word that he uses, the court “shall”; it is not that the court “may”.
