MPs have narrowly voted in favour of legalising assisted dying

A House of Commons vote this afternoon (Friday, June 20) saw members back a change in the law in England and Wales to allow assisted dying.

314 MPs voted in favour of Batley and Spen MP Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, with 291 against.

It was a much narrower vote than the last reading, which passed through with a majority of 55.
