Keir Starmer first promised to hold a vote on legalising assisted dying in March .

The subject was almost entirely absent from the general election.

But MPs now face perhaps the most consequential decision they will make in this parliament.

Back in 2015 , MPs voted by 330 to 118 against changing the law but the Commons now includes many more Labour and Liberal Democrat members.
