MPs waver once again as 'emotive' assisted dying bill heads back to the Commons

  • MPs prepared for further debate on Kim Leadbeater's assisted dying bill in the Commons on 16 May 2025, following its November vote.
  • The bill, which permits adults diagnosed with a terminal illness and expected to live no longer than six months to request medical assistance in dying, has undergone numerous modifications and sparked significant debate.
  • Supporters argue the bill now has stronger safeguards including approval by two doctors and an expert panel, while medical bodies have voiced serious concerns about protections.
  • The bill passed the Commons second reading by 330 to 275 votes last November, but a final vote is expected in June as some MPs reportedly prepare to switch opposition.
  • The upcoming parliamentary decisions could define England and Wales’ approach to assisted dying, amid strong feelings on both sides and ongoing public support for change.
