Liz Saville Roberts
Plaid CymruThe Rt Hon Liz Saville Roberts is the Plaid Cymru MP for Dwyfor Meirionnydd, and has been an MP continually since 7 May 2015.
Vote on New Clause 2 to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, debated alongside related amendments including provisions on guidance, devolution, and regulatory consultation. The excerpts focus on New Clause 20, which would require the Secretary of State to issue guidance (consulting chief medical officers and palliative/hospice care providers) and enable Welsh Ministers to issue guidance on devolved health matters.
Vote on New Clause 1 to the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, a private member's bill on assisted dying. Based on available debate context, this was one of several amendments considered at Report Stage, with the bill's sponsor Kim Leadbeater presenting changes developed with government legal and health officials to make the legislation workable.
Vote on whether to strengthen the advertising ban in the Assisted Dying Bill by requiring that any advertising restrictions also cover situations where advertisers know their adverts could influence vulnerable people's choices — going further than the basic ban proposed by the bill's sponsor Kim Leadbeater.
