The noble Lord said: My Lords, I ask this Question with some trepidation having no medical knowledge and being only too aware that among those who are due to speak are one or two noble Lords whose experience is considerable, specifically in the field of gut problems.
As noble Lords are aware, in the earlier part of the last century, milk was often heavily contaminated with the micro-organism that causes human tuberculosis, which produces tuberculous glands in the neck.
As the noble Lord, Lord Turnberg, said, because of the possibility that the disease might be caused by that organism, Sainsbury decided in 1998 to have its milk pasteurised for a longer period.

My Lords, the Minister was right to recognise the concerns of the speech and language therapists.
My Lords, that is why we wish to make a success of the transition for speech and language therapists in Agenda for Change.
My Lords, I wonder whether the Minister has taken into account in these changes the unique position of speech and language therapists, not only in helping those who suffer from otherwise crippling illnesses but also in the education of very early speech difficulties in children.

Lord Rea, a retired GP, wanted an assurance written into the bill that a future government could not bypass the GMC and set up its own regulatory body.
Lord McColl of Dulwich said the bill would enable the health secretary to undermine the whole structure of self regulation by ministerial decree.

 Care NOT Killing - Letter to Lords: 12 May vote
During the past 24 hours an email sent out by Lord Joffe has inferred that there is some irregularity or breach of convention in calling a vote at second reading of the Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill.
The Bill in front of the House is very different to that considered by the Select Committee, and Lord Joffe himself has decided in the current Bill to ignore many of the very important recommendations for changes in the Bill by the Select Committee on which he sat.
We and many others are convinced that it is right and proper that Lords procedure should be used to test the opinion of the House on such an unusual and highly controversial Bill at the earliest appropriate stage.

The noble Lord said: My Lords, it is always a pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord Joffe, who has made a measured and powerful speech in support of the Second Reading of his Bill.
In his speech, the noble Lord, Lord Joffe, said that he hoped that those of us whose views were shaped by faith would not press our faith because it is a minority view in a secular society.
The noble Lord, Lord Brennan, who is president of the Catholic Union and who I am sorry to say is not here, suggested that the Bill's approach was: "Why waste money on care for the terminally ill?".

 United Kingdom Parliament -House of Lords Select Committee on Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill
I would only say that, with the kind of equality legislation that we have and the anti-discrimination legislation we have and the increasing frequency of tribunals that are dealing satisfactorily with cases of doctors who have been discriminated against, I would hope that is a thing of the past.
I assume that in the sort of cases we are discussing now of spinal injuries or a terrible accident or something it might not be the attending physician, in the definition in the Bill, applied to these circumstances, and it might not be the patient's general practitioner at all.
I was impressed by the question asked by Lord McColl about on what grounds a doctor might object to being excluded from the actual process of administering medication and I did not hear an answer to that.

Lord Joffe, the crossbench peer who has introduced two similar Bills in previous sessions, cited opinion polls suggesting that up to 80 per cent of people were in favour of such a form of controlled euthanasia administered by the patient on the advice of a doctor.
Lord Joffe opened the debate by urging peers to recognise that the heavy mailbags that they had received were generated by an unrepresentative lobby led by the Roman Catholic Church.
Lord Joffes proposal was modelled on a system adopted by Oregon, in the United States, and would have allowed competent terminally ill adults to end their lives with an injection or medication supplied by a doctor.

It follows a similar bill by Lord Joffe — the Patient (Assisted Dying) Bill — which was debated in the House in June 2003 but did not proceed further.
