Kim Leader has said that despite eliminating the need for a High Court judge, his auxiliary bill for England and Wales will still get the strongest security measures in the world. Opponents made the change with “quick and badly thought”.
The decision to replace the Labor MP’s sign -off by a court panel by a court made a significant alarm in the parliament, including a lawyer, psychologist and social worker who voted in favor of the bill. Court judges will oversee each matter.
But since the Bill’s Committee prepared to start checking it before the final vote in Commons, the lead batter announced in the Guardian that it was changing the system due to expert evidence that suggested Not the right thing.
The amendment said the amendment would relieve the judicial system – as expert witnesses have advised – and will increase additional protection against people who are forced to end their lives.
Conservative Member of Parliament Danny Krugger, who is an important opponent of the bill that examines the legislature in the parliamentary committee, said it was a disturbing change.
“Why, if this is a plan, why not plan when the MPS was placed when the entire House of Commons voted for it?” He told BBC Radio 4’s Today program.
He added: “On this occasion, it was made very firmly that the Principal Safe Guard for this bill, where people may be confident that it will be safe for weak people, was that the application was approved There is now a High Court Judge.
“This new system… does not include a judge, it includes a panel of people, all of which are committed to the principle of auxiliary dying, not a neutral figure like a judge.”
Some Labor MPs tweeted their concerns. Dian Abbott, who also voted against the bill, said: “Security measures are falling on the auxiliary death bill. Quickly think about legislation. Voting needs to be voted.
Florence Esalomie tweeted: “The key security guard who was used to persuade the parliament, who raised the right questions about the bill, has now been released. It is a small thing to say. They can explain why lawyers, psychologists and social workers will not be overwhelmed. “
Conservative MP Neil O’Brien tweeted: “This safe guard was repeatedly promised. Before that the bill is also a law.”
Asked by today’s program, what new process means that it will happen private now, the lead batter replied: “This will not happen privately. There will be action.
“I think it’s really difficult to suggest that by adding three experts to this additional layer of scrutiny, which is somehow the worst change.”
Lead batter said that a panel of experts will not be selected on the basis of whether they have helped to die. “There will be a tough way for people to recruit these panels, and they will not be in personal ability. He added that he would be in professionalism to do his job.
Defending this stage in this process, saying that it is in response to the evidence listening to the witnesses. A pair of judges who gave evidence, Nicholas Moston and Jonathan Spannam said they believe the High Court process is not suitable for such a decision.
The lead batter said, “I would say that this process is exactly what the process is designed, and the purpose of this purpose is to hear such a comprehensive way of the Bill Committee with more than 50 witnesses.” “If we do not listen to them, what is the benefit of having a witness, and we don’t listen to the skills they provide?”
