Assisted Suicide Bill - Archbishop Mark

By Webmaster • February 2, 2026

Legislative Consent Motion on Assisted Suicide Bill As the Senedd prepares to debate whether to give legislative consent to Westminster's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, Archbishop Mark and Bishop Peter Bignall wish to express their deep concern about legalising assisted suicide in Wales. International experience shows that where assisted suicide is legalised, eligibility criteria expand over time and subtle pressure is placed on those who are elderly, disabled, or who fear becoming a burden. True compassion means accompanying those who suffer and ensuring no one feels abandoned, not ending life. They urge Members of the Senedd to withhold consent and focus on strengthening palliative care. On Monday 26th January, those who can are asked to observe a day of fasting in solidarity with the vulnerable. Please also engage respectfully with your Member of the Senedd to make your voice heard on this important decision for Wales. Please go to for info on how to contact members of the Senedd https://www.cbcew.org.uk/oppose-assisted-suicide-in-wales/ The Bishops letter is available in the parish news section of this website and on our facebook page..
