UK Parliament to Vote on Assisted Dying Bill

Stephen Kinnock supports the bill, citing compassion, while Health Secretary Wes Streeting opposes it over palliative care concerns.

The Assisted Dying Bill, introduced by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, will be debated and voted on in the UK Parliament on November 29.
Stephen Kinnock, the minister responsible for palliative care, has announced his support for the bill, arguing it could improve end-of-life care.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting opposes the bill, fearing it might undermine palliative care and lead to coercion of vulnerable individuals.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has not publicly disclosed his voting intention, emphasizing a neutral government stance and a free vote for MPs.
The bill proposes that terminally ill adults with less than six months to live can choose assisted dying, subject to approval by two doctors and a High Court judge.
