Frank Field MP in Westminster, London, August 30, 2018
Focus on equal access to assisted death rather than risks of legalisation for oppressed groups wrongheaded, MPs and campaigners say
TRIBUTES poured in today for former Labour MP and anti-poverty campaigner Frank Field, who has died aged 81.
Lord Field served as Labour MP for Birkenhead from 1979 until shortly before the last election, when he resigned from the party amid controversies with his local constituency party.
He unsuccessfully contested the seat as an independent and was ennobled thereafter.
