A new poll published today from More in Common, shows that the majority of the public does not support bypassing the House of Lords to force through the assisted suicide Bill, as would occur if the Parliament Acts were invoked in relation to the Bill in the next parliamentary session, as Lord Falconer has threatened.
Despite the polling including leading questions in favour of the Bill, 54 per cent of the public polled thought the Bill should either not return or would have to pass both Houses again, whereas only 46 per cent of those polled thought the Bill should bypass the House of Lords.
