LONDON: Members of Parliament in the House of Commons on Friday voted in favour of a historic bill that could pave the way for terminally ill adults in England and Wales with just six months left to live to request medical assistance to end their lives.
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, tabled as a private member's bill by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, attracted 330 votes in favour as opposed to 275 against - clearing its second reading stage by a majority of 55.
This means the legislation can now progress through a lengthy process of amendments and scrutiny by the House of Lords before it can become law.
