Will the new assisted dying bill become law?

Summary

Nutrition label

74% Informative

Kim Leadbeater’s bill was published last night at 10pm - just in time for the main news bulletins and morning papers.

The MP claims the protections it offers are “the strictest safeguards anywhere in the world” including the approval of two doctors and a High Court judge.

Anyone found guilty of coercion could face 14 years in jail.

MPs now have almost three weeks to look closely at the bill before the debate.

The bill already faces significant opposition from some senior players.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he’ll vote against, partly because the palliative care provided by the NHS wouldn’t be able to cope.

The Conservatives are also likely to give their MP’s a free vote and their new leader, Kemi Badenoch , is more explicitly political than most MPs.

“Personally I am sympathetic to assisted suicide but I know how government works, I have seen it from the inside,” she said.
