Q&A: Were we unfair on the House of Lords over its assisted dying scrutiny? And the Church of England prepares to welcome its first nurse-Archbishop
In this episode, we revisit our discussion on the House of Lords’ handling of the assisted dying bill, responding to listener feedback and exploring the complexities behind the debate. Plus, we look ahead to Sarah Mullally’s historic appointment as the first nurse-Archbishop of Canterbury, reflecting on how her unique background could shape both the Church of England and its relationship with the NHS.

Before it can come into force, the bill has to also be approved by the UK’s unelected upper chamber of parliament, the House of Lords. Here it has started to founder, as opposition grows and the parliamentary procedure is gummed up by a thousand separate amendments.
