MPs who backed assisted dying bill don’t expect it to return via act that bypasses Lords
Supporters of the assisted dying bill do not anticipate its revival through the Parliament Acts, which would allow it to bypass the House of Lords. Prominent MPs, including Louise Haigh and Ian Murray, have expressed their reluctance to support such a move. The bill previously passed the Commons but was blocked in the Lords due to numerous amendments.
- ▪The assisted dying bill was blocked in the House of Lords after over 1,000 amendments were submitted.
- ▪Prominent MPs have indicated they would not support using the Parliament Acts to revive the bill.
- ▪The bill passed the Commons by a margin of 23 votes, meaning a shift in just 12 MPs' views could prevent its return.
