MPs to vote again on Assisted Dying Bill - will it pass and what has changed?

  • Kim Leadbeater's Assisted Dying Bill returned to the Commons for debate on Friday, where MPs prepared to vote on amendments and the overall legislation.
  • The Bill, initially passed in November by a 55 majority, faces changing support as 20 MPs have shifted positions amid concerns over safeguards and scrutiny.
  • Key issues include a panel of experts replacing earlier processes, debate over banning assisted dying advertising, and an amendment preventing eligibility based solely on voluntary starvation.
  • George Fielding warned of state-sanctioned suicide risks, while Kim Leadbeater said the Bill will be safer and workable, with her stating it should be the 'best and safest Bill possible.'
  • The final third reading vote is expected next week amid demonstrations outside Parliament, with the outcome potentially affecting future legislation on assisted dying in England and Wales.
