What time is the assisted dying vote – and why is it happening again?
Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleMembers of Parliament debating a revived assisted dying bill in the House of Commons after previous legislation stalled in the House of Lords. The vote is expected to be extremely close, as the previous iteration passed by a majority of just 23 votes but it did not clear all its stages in the Lords, with peers tabling more than 1,200 amendments.The prime minister will refrain from voting to avoid unduly influencing the debate, while Andy Burnham will also not take part in Friday's crucial decision. If passed, the proposed law would permit adults in England and Wales with fewer than six months to live to apply for an assisted death, subject to medical approval. Opponents have raised concerns regarding protections for vulnerable people and palliative care standards, whereas supporters contend the legislation represents long-overdue reform. Voting must start by 2.30pm BST.In fullAndy Burnham to miss crucial assisted dying vote as legislation remains on knife edgeMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
