Supplementary Order Paper
Tuesday, 24 September 2019
End of Life Choice Bill
Proposed amendments to SOP No 259
Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi, in Committee, to move the following amendments:
Clause 24B
In the heading to clause 24B, after “Welfare guardians”
(page 22), insert “and attorneys”
.
In clause 24B, after “for a person”
(page 22), insert “, or an attorney of a person under an enduring power of attorney for personal care and welfare,”
Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends Supplementary Order Paper No 259 amending the End of Life Choice Bill by filling in a gap in the legislation, clarifying the status of an attorney under an enduring power of attorney.
It cannot be said that the status of an attorney is covered elsewhere—for example, in clause 24A(1), which refers to advance directives and various other types of document—because enduring powers of attorney cannot be expected to contain directions regarding assisted dying.
