The motion
Leave out from “believes” and add “regrets that amendment 24 was rejected at Report Stage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in June 2025 to ensure capacity is established for individuals seeking to end their own lives; and believes that the principle of having a duty to assess mental capacity when it is in doubt should be enshrined in law.”
