MP behind assisted dying bill suggests scrapping High Court approval.

Kim Leadbeater , the Labour MP behind the bill, will suggest replacing this with a panel of experts.

Panel reviewing each application would be chaired by a senior legal figure, not necessarily a judge.

Panel would also include experts such as psychiatrists and social workers.

The proposal will be voted on by a committee of MPs scrutinising the bill.
