While the King’s Speech made no mention that the Government would take up the failed assisted suicide Bill, the Government’s legislative agenda could be hijacked to introduce further extreme changes to our abortion law.
In his speech, as part of an Oral statement to Parliament, the King outlined the Government’s intention to introduce legislation to modernise the NHS and the Criminal Justice system. However, given past attempts to change the abortion law, there is a risk that, if abortion amendments are allowed, some MPs will attempt to hijack these Bills by adding extreme abortion amendments.
