Peter Prinsley MP: speeches

4 Jul 2024–3 Jul 2025

How these years work

But I urge us to be brave today and allow the Bill to progress in this new Parliament. Finally, a prison chaplain told me only this week of a gentle old man he met in prison, serving life for agreeing against every instinct in a last act of love to suffocate his wife, who was dying in uncontrollable agony. We are a compassionate people and we can do much better than that.
