The Bill to legalise assisted suicide in England and Wales returns to the House of Lords today for its second day of debate.
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill proposed by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater is under consideration by the House of Lords having made it through the initial parliamentary procedures and votes in the House of Commons.
It is unusual for a Bill to have two days, rather than one, at the House of Lords for its Second Reading – the fact that Leadbeater’s Bill has been granted two days reflects that so many peers have requested to speak during the debate.
