‘Suicide is wrong’: Theresa May condemns assisted suicide Bill in marathon House of Lords debate

Former British Prime Minister Theresa May has given her damning assessment of the proposed assisted suicide Bill that has reached the House of Lords.

The first day of debate on Friday lasted seven hours without pause, during which nearly 95 members of the House of Lords spoke, it is reported.

With 190 peers expected to speak in total over the two days that the Bill will be debated in the upper chamber of the UK Parliament, it means that the ground is set for what would be the longest debate featuring the most speakers for a Private Members' Bill heard by the House of Lords in its history.
