The assisted dying Bill needs to be tightened “at pretty much every stage”, a leading opponent and member of the committee set to scrutinise it has said.

Conservative MP Danny Kruger – who is at odds with his mother, Great British Bake Off judge Dame Prue Leith in her support for legalisation – is among 23 MPs who will meet for the first formal sitting of the assisted dying committee on Tuesday.
