Assisted dying bill could be axed before MPs have chance to vote
Briefly

The assisted dying bill could be axed before it has a chance to be voted on, as a group of MPs have tabled an amendment which could stop it in its tracks.
A cross-party group of MPs, made up of Conservative MP Ben Spencer, Lib Dem MP Munira Wilson and Labour's Anna Dixon, have co-sponsored a so-called wrecking amendment to the bill.
Some MPs expressed fears that the legislation has been rushed, indicating significant political tension surrounding the assisted dying issue and potential implications for future debates.
Ms Leadbeater, who sponsored the bill, noted that the amendment is evidently intended to prevent this vital issue being debated at all, showing the contentious nature of such legislation.
