News
Ask your MP to stop assisted suicide being rushed into law! MPs are preparing to vote before Christmas on a Bill that, if passed, will legalise assisted suicide. Labour MP Kim Leadbeater has come first in the Private Members’ Bill
ballot and has decided to table a Bill to legalise assisted suicide.
This follows news reports that the Prime Minister was “paving the way”
for a parliamentary vote before Christmas on legalising assisted
suicide. The reports suggested that a Bill on the subject was set to be
“rushed into law” and that MPs who were successful in the ‘Private
Members’ Bill’ ballot in the House of Commons were being urged to bring
forward legislation on this controversial issue. It
now appears that Kim Leadbeater decided to give in to the demands of
assisted suicide pressure groups and the Prime Minister, and table a
Bill to legalise assisted suicide. As was suggested in reports, this
Bill will indeed be voted on before Christmas – MPs will vote on the
Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill at Second Reading on Friday 29 November
2024. ACT
