Dame Esther Rantzen's daughter, Rebecca Wilcox, has described the fall of the assisted dying bill as "democratic vandalism."
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which has been making its way through Parliament for the past year and a half, is expected to fall without a vote at the end of a debate in the upper chamber on Friday (24 April) in its last scheduled sitting before the end of this session.
