The assisted dying bill will be brought before the Commons again, having been unable to complete its passage through parliament during the previous session. Labour MP Lauren Edwards has reintroduced the private member's bill, which will be debated and voted on by MPs on Friday. Over 100 cross-party peers have urged MPs to send the bill back to the House of Lords.
