- Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill (Committee stage, Lords): Kim Leadbeater has tabled a new Schedule on "PROTECTION FROM DETRIMENT" (amendment opc210) and a new Clause on "Investigation of deaths etc" (amendment opc302), neither yet considered by the House. Dame Meg Hillier has tabled NC2, providing that "No health professional shall raise assisted dying with a person under 18". The Bill's long title permits assistance to end life for terminally ill adults; these amendments address employment detriment, investigative process, and the boundary of discussion with minors.
- Public Office (Accountability) Bill (Report stage, Commons): Dr Kieran Mullan has tabled NC7, a new Clause on "Public interest" (amendment hoc65). Mr David Lammy has tabled NC8 on "Information contained in public records" (amendment opc36). Andy Slaughter has tabled NC6 on "Monitoring the standards of ethical conduct of officials in response to the recommendations from inquests and inquiries" (amendment hoc56). The Bill imposes a duty of candour on public officials and creates offences for misleading the public; these amendments introduce public interest considerations, archival information provisions, and a monitoring mechanism tied to inquests and inquiries.
- Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL] (Committee stage, Lords): Baroness Kramer has tabled three new Clauses after Clause 14, all concerning anti-money laundering: one on "provision of support to professional services firms" (amendment hol158), one on "regional supervision" (amendment hol162), and one on "professional expertise in anti-money laundering supervision" (amendment hol160). The Bill regulates financial services and markets; these amendments address supervision architecture for AML compliance, particularly as it applies to professional-services firms outside traditional financial institutions.
- Representation of the People Bill (Report stage, Commons): Gareth Snell has tabled NC53 on "Third party campaigning: meaning of 'controlled expenditure'" (amendment hoc181). Richard Burgon has tabled NC54 on "Declaration of gifts and benefits" (amendment hoc183). Lisa Smart has tabled NC29 on "Prohibition of political advertising by non-permissible donors" (amendment hoc133). The Bill extends the franchise to 16- and 17-year-olds and regulates political expenditure; these amendments redefine controlled expenditure for third parties, introduce a gifts declaration regime, and restrict political advertising by foreign or impermissible donors.
- Armed Forces Bill (Report stage, Commons): Mr Mark Francois has tabled NC9 on "Exemption from the European Convention on Human Rights for Deployed Members of the Reserve Forces" (amendment hoc88). The Bill continues the Armed Forces Act 2006 and makes provision for reserve forces; the amendment proposes an ECHR exemption for deployed reservists, a category not currently exempted under the 2006 Act or its Human Rights Act derogation provisions.
- Courts and Tribunals Bill (Report stage, Commons): Jess Brown-Fuller has tabled NC15 on "Expiry of sections 1 to 7 in specified circumstances" (amendment hoc144), introducing a sunset clause. She has also tabled NC6 on "Victim-led Intensive Case Management" (amendment hoc127) and NC16 on "Remote Court Participation: Strategy" (amendment hoc133). The Bill addresses criminal courts and tribunal leadership; these amendments introduce a conditional expiry mechanism, a victim-led case management framework, and a strategic duty on remote participation.
Watch for whether Francois's ECHR exemption reaches a division, and whether Kramer's AML supervision amendments survive in their current form when the Financial Services Bill returns to the floor.
