Labour MP’s Kim Leadbeater’s assisted dying bill has the “strictest safeguards anywhere in the world”, according to Labour MP Kim Leadbeater. In fact, the safeguards are so strong that Leadbeater could not even tell us what they were when she published those words at the weekend.
At least now we have the safeguards, such as they are, in print. The 38-page-long private member’s bill has been published just over two weeks before MPs are permitted five hours to discuss it and then decide whether to legalise state-sponsored suicide.
