TWO more Labour MPs have indicated they could change their position on the assisted dying Bill, which returns to the Commons tomorrow.

Andrew Gwynne and Paul Foster are among a growing number of ministers expressing significant concerns over the proposed legislation.

Former health minister Gwynne had previously abstained from voting on the matter.

The MP for Gorton and Denton wrote to his constituents saying he didn’t think that safeguards had been “strengthened enough.”

He was joined by the Labour MP for South Ribble, Paul Foster, who told his own constituents that he also had concerns over safeguards.

Foster had previously voted in favour of the legislation.

He explained that his position had changed following warnings from the Royal College of Psychiatrists saying he was “seriously concerned about the adequacy of revised safeguards, particularly the removal of judicial oversight and the wider implications for vulnerable individuals.”

“As we approach the final stages of this Bill, I want to be clear that I will not support the legislation at third reading unless I am absolutely assured that robust and enforceable safeguards are in place to protect people from harm, pressure or coercion,” he said.

This now brings the total number of MPs who changed their mind on the Bill to 14.

A spokesperson from Disabled People Against Cuts said: “We think the Bill has to be linked to the planned cuts to social security payments to disabled people.

“Many disabled people will feel a financial burden and could be pressured and coerced to end their own lives as in the household the disabled person is made to feel a burden.”
