SOME MPs who backed the assisted suicide Bill have indicated they could consider changing their mind further along its process into law amid concerns over palliative care provision and safeguarding.
MPs will be able to suggest amendments to the legislation when it moves into its next parliamentary step, the committee stage, at a date which is yet to be announced.
On Friday, MPs voted by 330 to 275 to approve Labour MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at second reading.
