The Terminally Ill Adults Bill was passed by 314 votes to 291 in the House of Commons on Friday .

It will need to go through the Lords before becoming law before it becomes law.

Critics say it could see disabled and vulnerable people coerced into ending their lives.

Dame Esther Rantzen says peers' job is to scrutinise and ask questions, but not to oppose.
