Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Torcuil Crichton

I thank my hon. Friend for that intervention. That was a very powerful point, if slightly long. There are people who face these really traumatic and difficult decisions every day, including Louise Shackleton, who I believe is also with us today.

[Torcuil Crichton (Na h-Eileanan an Iar) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. I thought this was a debate to discuss amendments, not a general debate.

[Mr Speaker]

It is, but I think this is the opening lead-in to the amendments. I will make that judgment call.

T5. I welcome that the UK Government are to convene an urgent session of the UN Security Council this afternoon to discuss the food situation in Gaza. Will Ministers ensure that Dame Barbara Woodward takes a message from my constituents, including Mairi MacKinnon, Ian Stephen, Louise Scullion and Malcolm MacLean, who expressed their disgust and condemnation of the Israeli Government using food as a weapon of war? There are 71,000 children in Gaza. Will he ensure that that message is heard in New York?

[Mr Speaker]

Order. Come on—there are other people here. Please help them.
