Breakthrough on assisted dying Bill as Esther's family warn Sir Keir to keep his promise

THE Prime Minister has been urged to keep his promise on assisted dying as a Bill seeking to change the law is set to be introduced in Parliament.

In a major breakthrough for campaigners, long-time supporter Lord Falconer was drawn second in the House of Lords Private Members' Bill ballot yesterday.

He confirmed that he would seek to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill adults who have fewer than six months to live.

The proposed Bill is due for its First Reading next Friday.

In March, Sir Keir Starmer pledged that Parliament would debate and vote on changing assisted dying laws if Labour won the General Election.
