Assisted dying bill - special series #3: Understanding the amendment process

Parliament Matters

The assisted dying bill is about to undergo detailed scrutiny by the Public Bill Committee - a group of 23 MPs tasked with reviewing the Bill's text and proposing amendments to refine and improve it. But what exactly happens during this amendment process? Former House of Commons Clerk, Paul Evans CBE, breaks it down. Plus, we hear from Dr Ben Spencer MP, a former consultant psychiatrist turned parliamentarian, who has proposed dozens of amendments to the Bill.This week, Ruth is joined by procedural expert Paul Evans to break down the role and purpose of a Public Bill Committee. They explore how amendments are proposed, the rules that determine which amendments are admissible, and the grouping and selection of amendments for debate and decision. Paul explains the pivotal role played by the Committee chair in making fine procedural and political judgements and the mechanisms like ‘closure' motions that keep the process moving and guard against filibustering. What is the Government's role in this process. While officially neutral, Ministers have a ‘duty to the statute book'. So, will they step in to propose amendments, or will that responsibility fall to the Bill's sponsor, Kim Leadbeater MP? Plus, we explore the tactical side of law making: is it smarter to push amendments now, or save them for the next stage when the Bill returns to the full Commons for the Report stage? We also sit down with Dr Ben Spencer MP, the Conservative MP for Runnymede and Weybridge. He voted against the Bill at Second Reading and discusses why he thinks the Private Members' Bill process is not the right route for this complex legislation. Despite his opposition to the Bill, and although he's not a member of the Public Bill Committee, he has nonetheless tabled several dozen amendments. One of his key proposals? The creation of a new body — the Assisted Dying Agency — to oversee the process. He shares why he's pursuing these amendments, how he's crafting them, and how he hopes to influence the Bill's progress from outside the Committee room.

Our narrator, eyes wide with the fresh terror of invasion, shares a tale that is as much about survival as it is about the inescapable encounter with the otherworldly.In this recounting, he partners with an artilleryman, delineating the convergence of humanity's fight for survival against the backdrop of an indifferent universe. As they navigate through a world now desolate, through ashen scenes bearing the grim testament of the Heat-Ray, Wells' narration unleashes questions about our place in the cosmos, the fragility of our existence, and the haunting echo of an empire facing an aggressor against which its might seems but a whisper.

What lessons did the UK's aerospace industry learn from TSR-2 and what key points can we take into today's aerospace projects? As a student, Michael Pryce lived close to Ivan Yates, the man who Warton sent to liaise with Weybridge. In his retirement, Yates told Pryce about many of the mistakes that were made on the TSR-2 project and how he learnt from them on his later projects, most notably when he served as the UK's man on the Jaguar, Tornado and Typhoon. Many of Yates's observations are of key importance for today's professionals, most notably for those working on collaborative projects today.

Keith Hayward explores the politics and personalities behind the TSR-2 project, which, at its heart, was a tension between two separate design teams in two different companies, with the young pretenders at English Electric headed by Frederick Page and the shrewd Sir George Edwards heading the team at Vickers. Pressure was added to the relationship as the TSR-2 contract was used to encourage the rationalisation of the UK aerospace industry, with the Vickers and English Electric on to form the core of the British Aircraft Corporation. Though the TSR-2 team found common cause in meeting the increasingly string-net requirements of Whitehall, Keith Hayward asks the question, ‘Did those from Wroughton and Weybridge finally find romance?'

Thanks for joining me for this weeks episode of One For The Road. This week i am joined by Dan O'Reilly. Daniel is one of the UK's Largest Influencers, a comedian, actor, musician, viral video star and social influencer. Daniel grew up on a council estate in Weybridge and did performing arts at Brooklands college, before moving out and living on his own from the age of 15. Daniel then worked on the cruise ships for many, many years, travelling the world as a compere, host and comedian. Daniel went on to live in Clapham for a while and saw his career begin to flourish. With a portfolio of businesses Daniel enjoys a busy lifestyle mixed with business and pleasure. Daniel is a father to two beautiful girls and enjoys spending quality time with them and his wife Shelley. After being diagnosed with severe ADHD and beginning his sobriety again, Daniel also set up a page on Facebook and Instagram called 'Men And Their Emotions' (M.A.T.E) an accessible, open and supportive group for MEN to post their feelings, thoughts and current life issues. Upon seeing the responses from men around the world to some of the posts on the group he was blown away and continues to be touched by the kindness and support offered by strangers. This all led to Daniel wanting to start up his own podcast and invite guests to join him in opening up about past experiences and talk about all things mental health, family & sobriety. The podcast, Menace 2 Sobriety has not only helped the 32,500 members in the M.A.T.E Facebook group, but has also received incredible feedback from viewers across all platforms.  With 2022 being a busy year, Daniel sold out his O2 stand-up show and released his British movie 'The Last Heist', which became the number one Amazon Crime Movie and is currently in the remits for a release on Netflix. @dappersinstagram (Instagram)@dapperlaughs (Twitter)Daniel O'Reilly (Facebook)@dapperlaughs (Tiktok)@menacetosobrietyuk (Podcast Instagram)https://www.youtube.com/@menacetosobrietypodcast (Podcast Youtube)@hyprr_films (Film Instagram)If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice for Suzanne.www.instagram.com/janeyhollidaycoachingwww.facebook.com/janeyhollidaycoaching https://www.linkedin.com/in/janey-holliday-1445b821/www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Show producer- Daniella Attanasio-MartinezInstagram - @TheDaniellaMartinezhttps://www.instagram.com/thedaniellamartinez/ www.instagram.com/grownuphustle/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The War of the Worlds, by H  G  Wells chapter 14 "In London", narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Story now goes to London, where we meet the protagonist's brother, who has only heard very little of the Martians; just a small telegram that talked about them being stuck in the pit. His brother decided to try and go to Horsell to try and see these Martians, but on arrival at the station he learns that there has been an accident (the destruction of the rails), but no one in London really knows what has happened. In the Sunday paper, which very few read, a telegram re-telling of the first attack on the common published, but no one really understand what has happened, and there were no descriptions of the giant metal beasts. At church, later on, the brother learns of some of the destruction, and they share a prayer for the fallen and scared people of Surrey.In the street, a man accosts our protagonist's brother, and tells him of heavy gun firing, and speculation starts in his mind. Slowly the train lines stop running, and soon police come and start clearing people from the stations. In the street he hears people yelling about the destruction of Weybridge, and his mind opens to the apocalypse that is upon them. Slowly but surely, the storm of chaos falls upon the population of London, and people start to flee…Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today⁠VPN: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠Antivirus: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:⁠Incogni: https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadsSupport the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

The War of the Worlds, by H  G  Wells chapter 13 "How I Fell in with The Curate", narrated by Isaac BirchallThe Martians flee after the folly from their human foes, but following this small victory for man, a cylinder falls every 24 hours, bolstering the invading army. The Martians seem to spend the next few days transferring materials from other cylinders to the first one that fell on Horsell Common, and slowly, a green cloud of smoke rose from their workplace.Our protagonist slowly clampers into a boat floating on the stream, and drifts lazily down the river towards Haliford. Haliford was quite on fire, creating a tranquil scene, where the houses were burning, but there were no spectators watching in awe or screaming. Near Walton bridge, our protagonist falls onto the bank, sickly walks for a mile, and then stops most likely sleeping. When he awoke, he noticed another man near him. The Curate, asks some philosophical questions, asking why these things happened to them; what sins had they committed? Our protagonist tries to calm the curate down by asking some mundane questions, but the man ignores him, and goes on in his speculations of the end. The curate asks how man can win against these creatures, and the protagonist proceeds to inform him, that one was taken out near Weybridge.Get SurfShark and protect yourself online today⁠VPN: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=926&aff_id=20389⁠⁠Antivirus: https://get.surfshark.net/aff_c?offer_id=934&aff_id=20389⁠Get data brokers to stop selling your information with:⁠Incogni: https://get.incogni.io/aff_c?offer_id=1219&aff_id=20389⁠Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreadsSupport the showThank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/isaacbirchall98Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

 The War of the Worlds, by H  G  Wells chapter 12 "What I Saw of the Destruction of Weybridge and Shepperton" , narrated by Isaac BirchallThe next morning, the narrator and his new friend raid the pantry, and set off. The protagonist wants to see him wife, and leave from another country, but the Third Cylinder blocks his path. He and the Artilleryman meet some mounted hussars on their detour to Leatherhead, and other artillery blockades. En route, they run into a number of people who are being told to evacuate, they don't really understand what is going on, and see several people arguing about their need to flee. At Shepperton, another battle begins… 5 of the metal beasts descend upon the town, destroying the church in the process. Thankfully, a line of guns held them off for a time, and allowed 1 perfect shot to fire at a tripod and take it down, proving that they can be defeated. In the chaos, the now angered titans rage through Shepperton, and the people in the area are forced into the river to try and escape the heat ray. The water becomes scoldingly hot, but its far better than the alternative. After the destruction, the 4 remaining tripods gather their fallen comrade, and take him back to the pit.

Rowing is fun, so is a rowing vacation even more fun? There are amazing places in the world where water is near tourist landmarks. Rowing past the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or through Venice or Saint Petersburg are all possible. We talk with an expert rowing tour guide. Timestamps 00:52 Ruth Marr of Rowing the World joins the show and tells us the story of how she started Rowing the World, her combined passion for rowing with her combined passion for travel. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Rowing the World 05:13 Ruth tells about her first tour experience with the FISA World Tour in 2012 in Sudbury Ontario. 07:32 Ruth spent 6 months in Switzerland and Northern Italy researching clubs to see if she could organize groups. Then did her first tour in that area. 10:03 The second trip was in 2013 on the Shannon River in Ireland, after the FISA World Rowing Tour on coxed quads. Tells about the events of that infamous FISA tour that made news and then her tour which had some adventurous moments too, i.e. boats in the cow field. 16:35 Sponsor message: Rowing through menopause, read description of speakers, https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rowing-through-menopause-tickets-526080409667 19:15 Ruth tells us about a typical day on a rowing tour. What happens from the time you get up in the morning until dinner in the evening. Every trip is tailored to the location and the focus is rowing; scenery, enjoying each other, and an enjoyable row. Ruth tells about visiting other boathouses, equipment, schedule, changing seats in the boat, coaxing, low rate steady rowing mostly in touring quads. Each day depends on the distance to be covered, where we need to land, the weather, can be point to point or central base trip out of one place like the Croatia tour or BC. 33:30 Description of the BC wilderness tour and base camp on the west coast of Vancouver Island and this year's wellness tours in Italy are center based. 34:55 Another style of trip is a point to point trip is the Thames Oxford to Weybridge, around Lago Maggiore (Italy), or Turkey which is combined Bodrum point to point then to Istanbul to the Golden Horn. Coming up will be a Sweden tour point to point. 37:39 The physical preparation for a tour from the training point of view. Rowers need to have two years experience sculling. They need fitness but also to have good technique especially for some of the coastal trip. Need to be able to row for an extended period but also to do it several days in a row. Long steady workouts at low rates. 42:30 Marlene talks about preparation. A tour can fit into your racing schedule for base training. For the tour prepare the durability to go from day to day. Prepare tendons and muscles for durability and to develop your recovery ability. Cross training can help preparation too. 46:15 Ruth describes about rowing on different types of water river, open water, or lakes that may be different than from the water a sculler rows on at home. 48:38 Go to the page https://fastermastersrowing.com/rowing-the-world/ there is information about Ruth's tours and there is a preparation program for touring. 50:00 Ruth summarizes the variety of the people and places where Rowing the World tours visit.

Matt, the Editor-at-Large of Londonist, is probably the most London-obsessed person in the world, reaching parts of the capital others can't reach. In the cause of exploring London, he has waded along the buried River Fleet, spent the night in a haunted plague pit, caught a lung infection by climbing Soho's tallest steeple, and walked along the tracks beneath Leicester Square at 2am. Matt has lived in Blackheath, Borough, Greenwich, Weybridge, West Hampstead, Fortune Green and Chalk Farm. Thanks to the capital's obscene property prices, he's since gone into exile in what he optimistically refers to as “The Future London Borough of Elstree and Borehamwood.” Matt is the author of 12 books, including London Night and Day (2015), Everything You Know About London Is Wrong (2016), and the bestselling/award-winning Atlas of Imagined Places (2021).
