Bill would allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales to choose to end their own lives.

It passed the first stage of the Commons last November but since then the details have been pored over and dozens of amendments have been added by both sides.

A vote to pass or reject the bill is not likely to take place on Friday , but rather in June .

The government has made changes to its impact assessment on assisted dying.

Of the 1,000 GPs who responded to a survey, 500 said they were against an assisted dying law.

The Royal College of Physicians said it believed there were "concerning deficiencies" with the bill that would need addressing.

Earlier this week , theRoyal College of Psychiatrists said it had "serious concerns" and could not support the bill.
