THE Communist Party called on MPs today to oppose the assisted suicide Bill currently before Parliament.
MPs are due to vote tomorrow on the second reading of the End of Life (Terminally Ill Adults) private member’s Bill submitted by Spen Valley MP Kim Leadbeater.
The Bill has split the government down the middle, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Work & Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall among those in favour while Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmoud are opposed.
Evidence to peers from medical leaders, patient safety officials and the children’s commissioner has intensified fears that the Bill’s safeguards are inadequate, writes ADAM JAMES POLLOCK
