The assisted dying Bill is ‘being rushed with indecent haste,’ campaigners warn
Campaigners protest outside Parliament in Westminster, London, ahead of a debate in the House of Commons on assisted dying, April 29, 2024

CAMPAIGNERS warned yesterday that the new Bill on assisted dying is “being rushed with indecent haste” after a group of nurses urged MPs to embrace a “historic opportunity” to change the law.

MPs will debate Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on November 29 — the first such debate in the Commons in almost a decade.

The wording of the proposed legislation is expected to be published within days.
