MPs have heard from families whose loved ones died and who have opinions on assisted dying (Alamy/PA) -

A man whose father, brother and sister died “in dreadful circumstances” has told MPs their sympathy “only goes so far” as he urged them to get on with the process to legalise assisted dying.

Pat Malone made the statement after Conservative MP Danny Kruger, who is opposed to the Bill going through Parliament, offered his sympathies and said he was sorry to be “fighting against you in this matter”.
