MP behind assisted dying bill confident it will pass Commons vote
Kim Leadbeater, MP behind the assisted dying bill, expresses confidence in its passage as it heads for the final stage in the House of Commons. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill would allow terminally ill adults to access medical assistance to end their lives. Debate over the bill intensifies as MPs face a decisive vote, with concerns raised about the strength of safeguards in the legislation. Despite opposition, Leadbeater remains optimistic, citing the bill as the "most robust piece of legislation in the world."
