This week we highlight Professor Alexis Jay’s damning verdict on the Conservative government’s lacklustre response to child abuse inquiry recommendations and the first major test of Northern Ireland’s “Stormont Brake” under the Windsor Framework. Plus, we take a look at the Armed Forces Commissioner Bill and how it measures up to its German counterpart.
In this first "mini pod" of a series exploring one of the most controversial bills currently before Parliament — the proposed legislation to legalise assisted dying — Ruth Fox and Mark D’Arcy delve into the heated debates surrounding the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. This Private Member’s Bill has already ignited passionate discussions during its first Public Bill Committee sitting.

The projected costs of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill will be considered by MPs, and the Public Bill Committee examining the Bill will meet to decide its schedule of work. Backbench debates focus on the impact of food and diet on obesity; financial education; and Holocaust Memorial Day. MPs will consider the Armed Forces Commissioner Bill and the Bank Resolution (Recapitalisation) Bill. Peers will consider amendments to the Data (Use and Access) Bill. The Home Affairs Committee will hear from Professor Alexis Jay, chair of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
