The prime minister, who had voted in 2015 to allow assisted dying, reiterated his stance, stating: "I personally do think there are grounds for changing the law." He believes that the private member's bill and a free vote are suitable processes for addressing this issue.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves, who remains undecided, expressed her concerns, noting: "My worry would be that people would feel under pressure: I'm no good for anybody; people would be better off without me. That would worry and scare me..." She is cautious about the implications of assisted dying.
Energy Secretary Ed Miliband expressed support for assisted dying, highlighting: "I think the current situation is rather cruel...people having control over their own life and their own death is something that is the right thing to do." He acknowledges the need for proper safeguards.
