Assisted dying Bill safer, says MP but ‘chaotic’ scrutiny process criticised

The assisted dying Bill will return to the Commons for a debate and vote in the coming months (Alamy/PA) -

The assisted dying Bill will come back to the Commons in a “safer, fairer, and more workable” form, the MP behind it has claimed, as two months of committee scrutiny came to a close.

But while Kim Leadbeater insisted her proposed legislation has been strengthened, opponents repeated criticism that it has been watered down and branded the scrutiny process “chaotic”.
