Keir Starmer has dismissed warnings that the proposed legalisation on assisted dying is being rushed.
The Prime Minister insisted that plenty of time had been devoted to the controversial plan despite dozens of his MPs pleading for it to receive more scrutiny.
He also indicated that he will back the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in the knife-edge vote tomorrow.
But he said he would not try to sway opinion as the Government has remained officially neutral – though he previously promised leading campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen he would make time for assisted dying to come to the Commons.
Asked during the G7 summit if he will be voting for the Bill, the PM replied: 'I've done my best not to influence the vote.
