The Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s private member's bill to legalise assisted suicide for terminally ill patients will be voted on in the Commons on November 29.
The health secretary, who previously voted for assisted dying in 2015, plans to oppose it now, citing concerns about potential coercion and the impact on NHS resources.
The justice secretary remains firmly opposed to assisted dying, arguing that normalising it could create a dangerous societal view towards the elderly and ill.
The education secretary plans to vote against the bill, reiterating her unchanged stance since 2015, given the complex and sensitive nature of the issue.
