Assisted Dying Bill passed its first major vote in the House of Commons last year .

At least a dozen MPs who backed it or abstained in November have now said they are likely to vote against it.

The bill would allow terminally ill adults with less than six months to live to receive medical assistance to die.

Supporters remain confident it will eventually become law but faces further parliamentary tests.
