Sir Keir Starmer said he did not want to heap any pressure on MPs when they voted on the issue later this month.

Asked whether he was going to vote for the Bill, Sir Keir said: "It's going to be a free vote and I mean that. It will be for every MP to decide for themselves how they want to vote.

"I'm not going to be putting any pressure whatsoever on Labour MPs. They will make their own mind up, as I will be.

Safeguards

"Obviously a lot will depend on the detail and we need to get the balance right, but I've always argued there will need to be proper safeguards in place." Sir Keir will make his decision when he reads the full Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which was published yesterday.
