MPs on both sides urge Commons not to take ‘extraordinary risk’ of forcing through assisted dying bill

Labour MPs Gareth Snell and Meg Hillier have issued a joint appeal urging colleagues not to use obscure parliamentary procedures to force through the assisted dying bill if the Lords continue to block it. Describing the move as an extraordinary risk, the MPs, who hold opposing views on the legislation, sent a warning letter ahead of the next vote. Separately, reports indicate the Troubles Bill is expected to be rushed through the House of Commons in October.
