Dear SPUC supporter,
Last week, the Committee hearing evidence on Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults Bill took oral evidence from nearly 50 witnesses.

The workings of this Committee have drawn widespread condemnation. Not only is the Committee of MPs biased towards those who support the Bill, the witnesses in favour were too. One analysis found that the witness list was 80%-20% in favour of the bill’s supporters.

Despite the stacked witness list, the very compressed timetable (the 50 witnesses were questioned in back to back meetings over just three days) and the poor treatment of experts (see this
tweet ([link removed]) from psychiatrist Allan House) the oral evidence shone a light on just how many questions remain unanswered with the Bill.

MPs are getting concerned. The Guardian
reports ([link removed]) that a number of MPs are reconsidering their support. One source estimates that 30 will withdraw support.

Remember, we need 28 MPs to switch from supporting to opposing this Bill. We can defeat this Bill, but we need to campaign like never before.

What needs to happen now is to make sure that all MPs are aware of what happened during the evidence sessions. We have put some of the most important clips on YouTube. Please write to your MP, sending them links to some of these clips.
Video highlights ([link removed])
We suggest that you choose one or two topics to focus on, such as palliative care or the impact of the elderly, and base your email around that, using the video clips. Choose whichever topics concern you the most. If you are in Wales, it would be particularly appropriate to share the video of Professor Emyr Lewis speaking about the impact of assisted suicide on Welsh devolution.

You can use our webtool, which will bring up who your MP is and provides a blank template.
Write to your MP ([link removed])
Please keep the pressure up on MPs and send them some clips highlighting how dangerous this assisted suicide bill is.

With best wishes,
Alithea Williams
Public Policy Manager
