Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill is now at Committee Stage. This is where a group of 23 MPs will examine the Bill in detail.
It is very important that the many risks and flaws with the Bill are brought to the attention of the Committee. By highlighting these concerns, we will help MPs understand the major problems with introducing assisted suicide and why they must vote against the Bill when it comes to Third Reading later in the year.
