Usdaw overwhelmingly backs legalising assisted dying at annual conference

USDAW delegates overwhelmingly backed a motion calling for the legalisation of assisted dying in Britain at their annual conference today.
General secretary Paddy Lillis supported the motion on the condition that any provision has significant safeguards to protect vulnerable people, acknowledging the proposed change is “something that feels instinctively wrong to many people.”
Delegate Les Perry said: “If this would have been in power and in place, [my father] would not have suffered as much as he did.”
