Assisted dying bill returns to Commons as campaigners gather

Campaigners fighting for the right to die will assemble in Westminster today as the Assisted Dying Bill heads back to the House of Commons.

Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, who previously brought the Bill to Parliament in 2024, Lord Falconer and other parliamentarians will join supporters in the morning.

Bill's previous setback

The Bill was previously talked out of the last Parliament after members of the House of Lords held up voting to push it off the agenda.

It was submitted as a private member bill again when Parliament reassembled for a new session, and is expected to return to the Commons today.

Campaign backing

The Daily Express has been running a 'Give Us Our Last Rights' campaign calling for the Bill to be made law.
