Labour MP urges Lords to pass assisted dying bill
Labour MP Lauren Edwards plans to reintroduce a bill on assisted dying in the House of Commons, asserting she will do so despite internal party concerns. The bill was previously halted in the House of Lords after passing the Commons and receiving over 1,000 amendments from opponents. Edwards emphasizes her commitment to democratic processes and aims to pass the bill again, potentially using the Parliament Act if needed, to allow the legislation to progress. She has faced criticism from disability groups and has apologized for past social media comments but maintains her support for disability rights and her principled stance on the bill.
