Westminster

Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill cleared the Commons in June 2025, with a reduced majority of 23. Two thirds of speakers criticised the Bill during its Lords Second Reading debate on 19 September; a Select Committee heard expert evidence on the Bill’s flaws, and consideration of amendments is set to run until April 2026.
