The British Prime Minister is seeking to fast-track an “assisted dying” law through Parliament before Christmas, according to reports.

Sir Keir Starmer wants to allocate time for the consideration of a Bill to allow "assisted dying" soon after the autumn political party conferences are over.

He decided to accelerate moves to decriminalise “assisted dying” – a euphemism for assisted suicide or euthanasia – after Labour MPs dominated the results of the annual Private Member’s Bill ballot, the Mail on Sunday has claimed.
