Voting on Life and Death The upcoming Commons vote on assisted dying hangs in the balance, with the outcome dependent on a delicate interplay between the elected chamber and the unelected Lords.

Labour MP Lauren Edwards notes that this bill has been a long time coming, representing a natural progression towards giving people more control over their own lives.
